How to Replace Guilt with Happiness

My present happiness is all I see.

Unless I look upon what is not there, my present happiness is all I see. Eyes that begin to open see at last. And I would have Christ’s vision come to me this very day. What I perceive with­out God’s Own Correction for the sight I made is frightening and painful to behold. Yet I would not allow my mind to be deceived by the belief the dream I made is real an instant longer. This 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. You cannot fail to hear me, Father. What I ask have You already given me. And I am sure that I will see my happiness today. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 290, W-pII.290. See also ACIM Lesson 290 Insights.)

Christ’s vision sees only innocence because it sees only Love. Love is eternal and ever present in the now moment. While we hold on to thoughts and beliefs from the past, our awareness of Love in the now moment is blocked.

The body and its eyes only seem to exist in the ego’s dream. The body’s eyes can only show us illusions. While we believe these illusions are real, Christ’s vision of Love is blocked. This is why forgiveness is the means to free ourselves from our dependence upon what the body sees. Forgiveness opens our mind to see past the illusions to the eternal presence of Love.

We were created as Love and nothing else. Our true Self remains at Home in God’s Love, living in His joy and peace. This is His Will for us. We do His Will by extending the Love He gave us. We know we have the Love He gave us by extending It. This is our purpose. It is how we experience our present happiness today and every day.
