Doing God’s Will Brings Happiness

My present happiness is all I see.

Unless I look upon what is not there [the past], my present happiness is all I see. ²Eyes that begin to open see at last. ³And I would have Christ’s vision come to me this very day. ⁴What I perceive without God’s Own Correction for the sight I made is frightening and painful to behold. ⁵Yet I would not allow my mind to be deceived by the belief the dream I made is real an instant longer. ⁶This the day I seek my present happiness, and look on nothing else except the thing I seek.

With this resolve I come to You, and ask Your strength to hold me up today, while I but seek to do Your Will. ²You cannot fail to hear me, Father. ³What I ask have You already given me. ⁴And I am sure that I will see my happiness today. (A Course in Miracles, W-290. See also ACIM Lesson 290 Insights.)

To do God’s Will is to be happy. His Will is that we extend the Love He gives us. Love’s joy is to extend eternally.

Our attachment to the past, and the guilt that comes with it, clouds our vision. We cannot see the present when we dwell on the past. But we have been given Christ’s vision which forgives the past, recognizing that the past does not exist. We are supported in this vision with the strength of God. Today we dedicate to being the Love we have been given. It will be a happy day indeed.
