Willingness to Be Happy

²Your vision, given you from far beyond all things within the world, looks back on them in a new light. ³And what you see becomes the healing and salvation of the world. ⁴The valuable and valueless are both perceived and recognized for what they are. ⁵And what is worthy of your love receives your love, while nothing to be feared remains.

We will not judge today. ²We will receive but what is given us from judgment made beyond the world. ³Our practicing today becomes our gift of thankfulness for our release from blindness and from misery. ⁴All that we see will but increase our joy, because its holiness reflects our own.

Open the curtain in your practicing by merely letting go all things you think you want. ²Your trifling treasures put away, and leave a clean and open space within your mind where Christ can come, and offer you the treasure of salvation. ³He has need of your most holy mind to save the world. ⁴Is not this purpose worthy to be yours? ⁵Is not Christ’s vision worthy to be sought above the world’s unsatisfying goals? (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 164, W-164.6:2–7:4;8:1-5. See also ACIM Lesson 164 Insights.)

The key to accepting the indescribable joy God has given His Son is letting go of all things we think we want. There is nothing in the world that can offer anything remotely joyful compared to God’s gifts. Only the ego wants anything in the world. It offers myriad substitutes for God’s gifts as a defense to protect the false identity it has made. Acceptance of God’s gifts means the end of the ego.

The only interference that stands between us and the perfect happiness given by God is our fantasies that anything in the world has value. Today we remind ourselves, “I do not know what anything means. I ask Holy Spirit to judge all things on my behalf to help me recognize the meaningful and disregard the meaningless. I am willing to let go of my judgments and accept the Will of God as my own. I am willing to be happy.”
