V. The Circle of Atonement, P 2
2 Everyone has a special part to play in the Atonement, but the message given to each one is always the same; God’s Son is guiltless. Each one teaches the message differently, and learns it differently. Yet until he teaches it and learns it, he will suffer the pain of dim awareness that his true function remains unfulfilled in him. The burden of guilt is heavy, but God would not have you bound by it. His plan for your awaking is as perfect as yours is fallible. You know not what you do, but He Who knows is with you. His gentleness is yours, and all the love you share with God He holds in trust for you. He would teach you nothing except how to be happy.

Journal
I have been doing the happiness lessons in which Jesus tells us over and over and over in lesson after lesson that our function is to be happy. He tells us that God has a plan for our salvation and that our part of that plan is to be happy. How appropriate it is that I am reading this paragraph now. The last sentence says that the Holy Spirit would teach me nothing except how to be happy.

The way to be happy is to realize that God’s Son is guiltless. I will play this part out in my own story of Myron. My story will look different from your story, but the purpose is the same. We are going to come to the same conclusion. There is no guilt to be found in the Son of God. This is our salvation and it is our part in the salvation of the Son. We will not fail.

In the meantime, as we continue to watch the story and learn from it that guilt is not real, we will suffer to the extent that we resist that one lesson. We will suffer because, even though we pretend not to know what is happening, there is a dim awareness that we are failing to fulfill our function. God does not want us to suffer and that is why He gave us the Holy Spirit to help us. That is why we have the Holy Spirit to teach us and guide us and comfort us and to hold our love in trust for us.
