The Key to Happiness

My happiness and my function are one.

All things that come from God are one. They come from Oneness, and must be received as one. Fulfilling my function is my happiness because both come from the same Source. And I must learn to recognize what makes me happy, if I would find happiness.

Some useful forms for specific applications of this idea are:

This cannot separate my happiness from my function.
The oneness of my happiness and my function re­mains wholly unaffected by this.
Nothing, including this, can justify the illusion of happiness apart from my function. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 83, W-pI.83:3-4. See also ACIM Lesson 83 Insights.)

Our Source is Love, Which is all that is real. Love eternally extends Itself. Thus our only function is to be Love by joining with the eternal extension of Love from our Source.

As we accept our part in Love’s unlimited extension, we experience God’s joy as our own. The seeming happiness we may experience in the world is like a flickering candle compared to the sun. We welcome the joy of being Love as we let Love guide our thoughts, words and actions. With this guidance, we look past appearances in the world to the Light of Love that never diminishes. It only seems hidden from our awareness while we maintain allegiance to the ego’s denial of Love.

Today we dedicate to fulfilling our true function by asking the Holy Spirit to help us see with the vision of Love. As we relinquish our judgments, which deny Love, Love becomes our motivation and our fulfillment. We are increasingly blessed with happiness and peace. We join with God’s Will for us for perfect happiness.
