Happiness is an attribute of love. It [happiness] cannot be apart from it [Love]. Nor can [happiness] be experienced where love is not. Love has no limits, being everywhere. And therefore joy is everywhere as well. Yet can the mind deny that this is so, believing there are gaps in love where sin [separation] can enter, bringing pain instead of joy. This strange belief would limit happiness by redefining love as limited, and introducing opposition in what has no limit and no opposite.
Allow this one correction to be placed within your mind each waking hour today. Then welcome all the happiness it brings as truth replaces fear, and joy becomes what you expect to take the place of pain. God, being Love, [happiness] will be given you. Bolster this expectation frequently throughout the day, and quiet all your fears with this assurance, kind and wholly true:
God, being Love, is also happiness.
And it is happiness I seek today.
I cannot fail, because I seek the truth. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 103, W-pI.103.1;3. See also ACIM Lesson 103 Insights.)
Limitless joy is our birthright. It is already ours. We are not aware of it because we have disowned what God gave us. But God did not stop giving it. We can reclaim our birthright in any moment by forgiving, letting go of, the mistaken belief that we have separated from God.
The statement, “I need do nothing,” means stop interfering with the eternal flow of the Love and happiness that God is giving us. There is nothing we need do to qualify or earn His gifts. We just need to stop interfering and rejecting His gifts.
Today we will remind ourselves frequently that happiness belongs to us because it is God’s Will, and therefore ours. We are entitled to happiness now.
