Making Room for Happiness

Robert:
The more I let go of judgments and opinions, the happier I am, the more peace I experience. If I think any appearance or form in the world should be different, I am telling myself that my happiness depends upon an empty form. It doesn’t seem to be an empty form because I have given it meaning by my judgment. To step back from this self-imposed meaning, I need to practice day by day, hour by hour, stepping back and opening my mind to Holy Spirit’s interpretation of all things in the world.

As I accept the Holy Spirit’s vision, I am able to recognize what is meaningless and has no value, and easily let it go. With that release, the joy of God’s Love rushes in to fill the “space” that had been taken by the false meaning I had given to an empty image. No longer am I looking for happiness in a meaningless world, but I am experiencing the innate happiness that comes with accepting my Self as Love created it. This is what forgiveness brings. This is what I truly want.

Today I will be vigilant to hold my mind open to the Holy Spirit’s gift of vision.

Mary:
Today we were guided to read A Course in Miracles, Lesson 122,

Forgiveness offers everything I want.” What stood out to me was, “Forgiveness lets the veil be lifted up that hides the face of Christ from those who look with unforgiving eyes upon the world. It lets you recognize the Son of God, and clears your memory of all dead thoughts so that remembrance of your Father can arise across the threshold of your mind. (W-pI.122.3:1-2)

Applying this gentle message is my practice for today. This day is for letting the veil be lifted so that I can see the face of Christ instead of separate personalities. Today is for allowing the Holy Spirit to purify my mind of all ego thoughts. Today is for stepping back consistently and allowing the Holy Spirit to lead the way. Today is another day of practice in letting go of all the meaning I have given the world and letting it be replaced by Holy Spirit’s meaning. Forgiveness offers everything I want and I give thanks.
