Rest in Joy, Rest in God

Robert:
A Course in Miracles, Lesson 103 says, “God, being Love, is also happiness.” So accepting my place in God is accepting happiness. Choosing to see a world of separation and conflict is choosing to be “right” in my belief that separation is real instead of accepting God’s gift of happiness.

Only the insane would choose conflict, isolation and devastation in place of happiness. Yet that is what we do when we insist that the world of form is real. Through massive self-deception, we have convinced ourselves that this world offers us something that will make us happy. And so we spend our “life” seeking but not finding lasting happiness. The Course is helping us to recognize that happiness cannot be found in this world so that we will stop seeking where we cannot find what we truly want. What we truly want is to remember our Self, Which is the joyous Love of God.

I have flashes of hints of that joyous Love that is beyond this world. They make my heart sing and I see that Love all around me in those moments. Appearances diminish in their importance and my attention goes to the radiant Love beyond the forms.

These “tastes” of Heaven motivate me to come back for more. The way I come back is through the moment by moment practice of letting the Holy Spirit in my mind interpret everything I see on my behalf. When I am willing and open, His joyous vision returns. Today is another happy day of practice.

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Today as you go through your day, no matter what you see with your body’s eyes, let yourself remember that you rest in God… Resting in God means that you rest in peace, happiness and joy… It means that you have and are all that God has to give… Resting in God means that you share all Love as God shares all Love…

To reinforce this remembering, practice giving all the Love that you have to all today… Practice remembering that everyone has all of God today… This reinforces the fact that you rest in God for eternity.

This is my practice today.
