Simple, Uncomplicated Love

Robert:
Do I want to be happy? Of course! Everyone in the world would say yes to this question. The problem is that if I see myself as separate, with a body and an identity different from anyone else, I will seek for happiness where it cannot be found.

Everybody’s actions in the world are motivated by the quest for happiness. In fact, the making of a world of separation came from the idea that having more than everything would bring happiness. But “more than everything” is impossible and seeking for the impossible is insane. Thus seeking for happiness in an insane thought system is an exercise in futility that can only lead to frustration and depression.

The good news is that there is another way. A Course in Miracles tells us that there remains in our minds a link to sanity, a link that an lead us back to the one Self we are. This one Self is united with our Creator. It shares the joy and love and peace of our Creator. This Self remains in our mind. We can be unaware of It but we can never lose It. It is in our one Self that we find lasting happiness. It is in our one Self that we find peace. That one Self is in us all and unites us as One.

Today is a day to practice reminding myself that I am one Self, united with my Creator. And this is where I find happiness.

Mary:
As I go into a place of quiet this morning, the words, “simple, uncomplicated Love” resound in my mind. I stay with it and ask to go deeper into it. What comes is, “Let simple, uncomplicated Love carry you through your day. Practice being still and listening for the direction of simple, uncomplicated Love throughout your day. Let simple, uncomplicated Love carry you. Do not try to do anything on your own.

“Let yourself be showered with the blessings that come with allowing simple, uncomplicated Love to lead you through every part of your day. Let yourself feel the storehouse of gifts that simple, uncomplicated Love showers on you through the day. Share the blessings you receive with the whole Sonship.”
