Letting Go

Robert:
Happiness is a direct effect of forgiveness, just as depression is a direct result of judgment. To be happy, I need to be single-mindedly dedicated to letting go of all I think the world is. It’s really very simple. What seems to make it complicated is my unwillingness to reconsider the importance I have given to my judgments. At the core, the importance comes from the desire for specialness. But the desire for specialness only leads to judgment and depression. It is not bringing me what I really want.

Every day I need to rededicate to letting go of my judgments and opening my mind to the Holy Spirit’s loving correction of my mistaken beliefs. The need for rededication only comes up because I return to old habits of believing in separation. Holy Spirit accepted my initial decision to learn to undo the mistaken beliefs that are reflected in the world I perceive. Thus the Holy Spirit sees every moment, every circumstance, as a teaching opportunity to help me achieve the goal initially set.

But when I fall back into old habits, I turn my back on the lessons He offers. So each day as I rededicate to the purpose of forgiveness, I am reminding myself of a decision I already made that was accepted by the Holy Spirit. I am grateful for another day to practice turning all my judgments over to the Holy Spirit to receive His happy replacement in their place. Today is another opportunity to move a step closer to the happiness God wills for me.

Mary:
I dedicate today to letting go of my perceptions of a world of separation. I dedicate today to handing over these perceptions to the Holy Spirit. If I am willing, the Holy Spirit will replace these thoughts of separate bodies with a new perception.

The Holy Spirit lifts the veil to show me the eternal Light beyond the world of separate dreams. The Holy Spirit shows me the eternal Love behind the constantly changing world of specialness. The Holy Spirit shows me the safety and peace that is ours as we willingly let go of false dreams that are not true. Today is dedicated to receiving Holy Spirit’s replacement for dreams of fear and struggle. I am willing to receive Holy Spirit’s happy replacement for what never was.
