We Remain Love and Joy as We Were Created

…pain is purposeless, without a cause and with no power to accomplish anything. It cannot purchase anything at all. It offers nothing, and does not exist. And everything you think it offers you is lacking in existence, like itself. You have been slave to nothing. Be you free today to join the happy Will of God.

Here is your home, and here your safety is. Here is your peace, and here there is no fear. Here is salvation. Here is rest at last.

I share God’s Will for happiness for me, and
I accept it as my function now.

Then seek this function deep within your mind, for it is there, awaiting but your choice. You cannot fail to find it when you learn it is your choice, and that you share God’s Will.

Be happy, for your only function here is happiness. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 102, W-pI.102.2:1-5;3:2-5;4:2-4;5:1. See also ACIM Lesson 102 Insights.)

It could be said that to be happy is to be Love, for joy is an attribute of Love. Of course God’s Will for us is perfect happiness because God is Love and joy is part of Love. God gave all of Himself to His Creation and so His Creation shares all of His joy. Being His Creation, our function must be to be happy as our Creator is.

If we are not experiencing perfect happiness, we are suffering under a misunderstanding of What we are. We need a correction in our mind to return understanding to our awareness that we are only Love as our Creator is. To fulfill our function of sharing God’s joy, we need to remind ourselves frequently to accept God’s Will for us and be willing to have our misunderstanding corrected. This is another way of saying that we need to accept the Holy Spirit’s help to forgive ourselves for believing we disconnected from God’s Love. In truth, we remain Love and joy as we were created.
