Accepting Happiness

Mary:
In our reading in A Course in Miracles this morning, I was reminded that happiness is there in my mind, waiting for my acceptance. If I’m not feeling God’s peace and happiness, I must have a barrier that interferes with my awareness of what is already present. Today my focus is to be aware of how much happiness I am allowing myself to be aware of. Asking myself frequently, “How happy do I feel right now? Am I using an ‘outside’ circumstance as a reason for not being happy?” My opportunity for today is to recognize these false ideas and let them be removed by the Holy Spirit.

Happiness is my natural inheritance. It is part of my natural beingness, because right now I am one with all Love. And inherent in Love is peace and happiness. I can have a happy day if I am willing to accept what is true now. In truth, the dream of separation never was and only happiness is here now in the eternal present. I see today as a wonderful opportunity to accept the peace and happiness that is inherent in my true Identity now.

Robert:
Since Love does not condemn, judgment is the denial of Love. This is why forgiveness is the gateway to the return to the memory of Love. Today my practice is to turn over all my judgments to the Holy Spirit. He will help me let them go so that I can open to the peace and happiness that is my inheritance. I give thanks that Love placed in my mind the means to let go of the barriers to Love’s presence.
