Surrender to Happiness

Robert:
Today I would surrender to happiness. The ego sees surrender as sacrifice because the ego is the idea of sacrifice. But when I am willing to surrender my independent “will” and accept my complete dependence on God for my being, I surrender to happiness. “God, being Love, is also happiness.” (A Course in MIracles, W-pI.103) The Self that God created is Love eternal, always joyous and always at peace.

Today I would “sacrifice” the uncertainty and conflict of the ego and open my heart and mind to the certainty of God’s gift of Himself. I am willing to accept God’s Love.

Mary:
If I truly want to be happy, I must be willing to lay down the idea of individuality and differences. A world of individuality and differences is in the ego’s domain and is just insanity. I have all the help I need to let this go if I am willing to accept the Holy Spirit’s help. Accepting the Holy Spirit’s help requires that I have a quiet, open mind. In this open and quiet place, the Holy Spirit returns my mind to the truth. “The sight of Christ is all there is to see. The song of Christ is all there is to hear. The hand of Christ is all there is to hold. There is no journey but to walk with Him.” (ACIM, T-24.V.7:7-10)

As I allow the veil to be lifted in quietness, peace returns. A sense of peace, safety and well being returns. I remember that nothing has happened to change God’s one Son. Allowing the Holy Spirit to lead me to the truth is what today is for. This is what brings me happiness.
