HAPPINESS IS SIMPLE

“Truth merely wants to give you happiness, for such its purpose is.”  A Course In Miracles

“I will simply be happy with God today.”

God gives us great works to perform in the simplest manner.

Those of us that are happiest know what this means. 
When we are at peace, we are natural channels for 
God’s Love to flow into the world.
By being at peace, we are teachers of peace.

“My happiness and my function are one.”  A Course In Miracles

God can only use us when we unblock our path to Him.
Fear blocks us from serving Him.
Joy lets Him in.

God doesn’t ask us to do big and complicated things.
He just asks us to be happy.
Then He can do big and complicated things through us.
Many times without us even knowing that He is using us.

It’s so simple.
The truth is always simple.
It’s we who make things complicated.
Therefore, it’s we who can turn things around
By simply choosing God.

It’s not something we do.
It’s not something we say.
It is simply what we are.

In doing so we gain the simplicity of happiness and share it with the world.

“God’s will for me is perfect happiness. I share God’s will for happiness for me.” A Course In Miracles

BE QUIET AND BE KIND

”The miracle comes quietly into the mind that stops an instant and is still.” A Course In Miracles 

 “I will be quiet so I can be kind and receive my miracles today.”

If we wonder what to do or say in any situation, the answer is simple, short and sweet.

“Be quiet and be kind.”

 “Let all your brothers and your sisters be seen in light of charity and kindness … “  A Course In Miracles

It isn’t always necessary to respond in every situation. Often it’s best to say nothing.  Do nothing. Let it pass through us instead of taking it on as ours. Instead of building a brick wall of slights and hurts around us that we believe we must defend ourselves against, we can think of the slights as wind and let it blow over us.

If we’re feeling attacked or uncomfortable, we can simply grow still and then be kind. Try seeing the situation from a different perspective.  Any time we feel attacked, perhaps it isn’t how it seems.  Maybe the person attacking is merely projecting their pain and fear on us because it hurts too much to accept their own responsibility in a given situation. It may be too painful for them to look at the dark feelings from their past that live inside them so they turn on us and lash out or criticize us or blame us for their problems.  And perhaps we unknowingly do the same to others because we are blinded by our own fears.  It is this vicious cycle of pain and projection that keeps this insane world going.  This is what makes us feel powerless and victimized.

What if we decide to look at things differently? Do we have to attack back?  Defend ourselves? Or project our pain on others? Do we have to play the blame game?  Where is the peace for us in this?

“In my defenselessness my safety lies.” A Course In Miracles  In our defenseless we are placing our trust where it belongs – in God.  “Defenselessness is strength.” A Course In Miracle

Could there be a better way? Like the old saying, the buck stops here, why not the anger stops here? Or fear stops here?  Or pain stops here?  Or the insanity stops here?

Can’t we just grow quiet and pray, “God help me here.”?  And then listen for our message of kindness and forgiveness.  Perhaps we will be asked to simply walk away.  Then breathe and gently smile as we let God show us another way, a better way to be in this world.

“Only my condemnation injures me. Only my own forgiveness sets me free.” A Course In Miracles

NO CARES, NO WORRIES

“Can you imagine what it means to have no cares, no worries, no anxieties, but merely to be perfectly calm and quiet all the time? Yet that is what time is for; to learn just that and nothing more.” A Course In Miracles

 “I will be calm and quiet as I watch for miracles in every moment today.”

How much time do we spend trying to hurry time along.  We talk about the things that make our day go faster as though that is a desirable thing. “At least it made the day go fast,” we say. We don’t stop to think that we are wishing our life away. Trying to speed things up so we can get somewhere else or to something else is a way of losing whole chunks of our life.

We think “Hurry up.” to the stop light. “Move it along.” to those in line ahead of us.  We miss valuable moments in which we can be quiet and kind and at peace with nothing else to do but wait a moment.  And in that quiet waiting, the world is healed a little more.

Many of us want to speed winter along so we can get to spring and summer.  But what about winter?  Unless we are winter enthusiasts, we miss it altogether. Or spend it in frustration and anxiety as we try to push ourselves beyond it. We miss the beautiful moments for being with our families and friends. Playing board games or doing puzzles or reading a good book while drinking hot chocolate.  We miss the beautiful landscapes of mesmerizing white as we quietly watch the winter birds at play. Even shoveling the walk can be invigorating and healthy and something the whole family and the neighborhood can participate in. It’s not the world as it is, but how we perceive it that blocks or opens our presence to a moment.

We  say, “Get this work day over so we can have some fun.” We are blind to the way our life can be beautiful and amazing and even fun at work. Work can provide opportunities to grow and to be helpful and to develop amazing relationships that may last a lifetime.  Also, there are great opportunities at work to experience forgiveness and healing with those with whom we clash. We must let God in to each experience at work so it can be transformed into something helpful and even miraculous.

Instead of losing ourselves in our devices to pass the time, we can lose ourselves in a book, or in conversation with those around us or in simply quieting our mind and being still. So much life and so much in life to be grateful for in every season, to treasure and appreciate in each hour if we but take the time to be in the moment.  Being mindful is freeing. Like releasing a butterfly from a cocoon.

We may have a day where everything is perfect, the weather, the companionship, the experience, but so often we hear from someone, “Enjoy it while you can.  It won’t last.”  Saying it won’t last prevents us from enjoying the moment and making it last.  What if we just be in each moment and each day and smile in gratitude instead of wishing or pushing our life away with thoughts of the future and what it may or may not hold for us.

A perfect prayer would be, “I place the future in the hands of God.” ACIM

JUST FOR NOW

“The Child of God is free. Now are we one with Him Who is our Source.” A Course In Miracles

“God’s love surrounds me and protects me now.”

Just for now, feel yourself surrounded by Love as you are held in the arms of He, who created you and Loves you more than you are capable of understanding. Such a Love as this knows no limits, no boundaries and is beyond time and space. Allow yourself to walk with Him in perfect Holiness and let every fear and worry be lifted from you as He tells you softly again and again, “Dear Child, all your problems have been solved.” 

Do this just for now and then remember,

the past is over,
the future isn’t here and
NOW is all there is.

Live in the glory of your own holiness… just for now.  

And now.

And now.

Our Prayer:

“I place the future in the hands of God.” ACIM “And I give the past to God as well. I understand that now is all there is and God is in charge of now at my request.”

BLADE OF LIGHT

“I will arise in glory and allow the light in me to shine upon the world…”  A Course In Miracles

“I will be the sculpture of my destiny.”

All fear is but a thin crust upon the surface of our holiness. It’s the unforgiving thoughts that keep us from our peace. Let’s take a blade of light and scrape away everything that isn’t love. With holy tweezers, let’s remove all the tiny slivers of pain we have accepted as our destiny. With the blade of light, we carefully and meticulously scrape off our sadness, our sickness, our suffering and the world’s. Anything that blocks our joy can be removed and must for us to live our True life.  And as we scrape away all that we do not want, we polish and bring forth what is buried underneath, releasing all the happiness that is hidden there. Amazing scents and sights and sounds have been released for our enjoyment. With God’s Hand in ours, we are the sculpture of our destiny.   

In carving away everything that doesn’t belong to us we free ourselves for a glorious arising.  Our light shines far and wide.  And the greatest gift is that not only have we saved ourselves, we’ve saved the world as well.

“God is with me. He is my Source of life, the life within, the air I breathe, the food by which I am sustained, the water which renews and cleanses me. He is my home, wherein I live and move; the Spirit which directs my actions, offers me Its Thoughts; and guarantees my safety from all pain. He covers me with kindness and with care, and holds in love the Child He shines upon, who also shines on Him. How still are they who know the truth of what God speaks today!” ACIM

LIFE BEYOND THE DOOR

“Into His presence would I enter now.” A Course In Miracles

Before us lies a door.  Beautiful it is and filled with light. On one side lives the world we know. We busy ourselves about our ordinary days never trying to go beyond what is familiar to us. Now and then we glance up at the door and even see its light. We sense there is something special on the other side. But we put that from our minds and trudge on in the world we know with the life in which we have grown accustomed.  We’re way too busy for nonsense like doors of light or other impractical ideas. We’re trying to survive here. And besides it probably isn’t even real.

Over time we become tired of all that fills our days and nights.  Tired and even sick.  Tired of it all.  Sick of it all.

One day we find we cannot go another step.  We sit down and realize how weary we have grown of trying to carry the weight of the world we know. It’s just too much and nothing ever changes or gets better except for brief moments here and there.  Our life has become a burden.  Our judgments weigh on us.  We know we’re right, but what’s the good if no one else does?  So many opinions; so many different ways of seeing.  Why can’t everyone see the world as we do? Then maybe things would finally change. It’s so confusing.

Then a whispered thought comes to our mind. “What if I’m mistaken?” We quickly shut that thought out for that would mean our whole life is a lie. 

The door still stands before us, its constant, quiet light more bright than ever.  Something deep within us begins to stir and shift. As if a part of us that has been soundly sleeping is trying to awaken.  We wonder just what that door is hiding? We walk close but don’t turn the knob. We’re afraid and anyway we’re sure the door is locked. And we don’t have the key.  “It’s only a prayer away.” We hear the whisper in our ear.  We say the only thing that comes to mind, “Help me.”  And there it is, a shining gold key in the door.

We’re still afraid but our desire for something better becomes stronger than our fear. We turn the key and the door opens almost of its own accord.  At first we’re disappointed. It looks the same on the other side.  There is our life as always.  Same home, same family, same job.  But wait, something is different. Finally we realize it’s us. We’re different. We’re smiling. We’re laughing. Our eyes are calm, our hearts are light. We’re singing a little song.  We spend time listening rather than lamenting. Being still feels very comfortable and comforting.

What’s changed? we wonder. Then it hits us.  We are no longer carrying the weight of our life. We’ve let it go.  Surrendered it somehow.  We feel light and free.  We have no judgments and no fears.  One Who walks with us is carrying the weight for us.

Now we ask questions before we make decisions. “What would You have me do?  Where would You have me go?  What would You have me say? And to whom?”

Life is simple now. Our hearts have forgiven everyone and everyone’s forgiven us.  Truth walks ahead of us instead of being pushed back into the dark recesses of our minds. All that small, petty thinking that occupied our days on the wrong side of the door seems so silly to us now that we have found the answers to Heaven here on earth.

We’re in no hurry for time is not an issue when we use it for God’s purpose. When we serve God and not our fears our life becomes amazing.

SIGNS OF SPRING

“Everywhere the signs of life spring up to show that what is born can never die for what has life has immortality.” A Course In Miracles

“I am open to new life and new beginnings today.”

The symbols for spring are new life and new beginnings. In God we are given opportunities for new life and new beginnings every time we make a choice.  Every time we choose to judge someone, that is a new beginning for an outcome that we may not want.  Every time we choose to forgive someone that is a new beginning that will bring us peace. Whatever we choose for another is what we choose for ourselves. That’s how oneness works. 

We and our brothers and sisters are one, connected by God’s Loving Energy.  We cannot affect someone else without affecting ourselves.  It isn’t God’s choice that makes this dynamic work, it’s ours.  God simply IS.  We choose whether we align with His Love or ego’s fear.  Like daylight savings, we can spring ahead toward our most loving self, or we can fall back into the old patterns of fear thinking.

As we watch the daffodils and tulips push up from the cold, hard earth, and tiny leaf buds open on the trees, let’s allow ourselves to be reminded that we too can push through the hard old thinking and open to new life and new beginnings by simply choosing God in everything we think and say and do.

Our prayer would be: “God, what would you have me think and say and do here?” And then we quiet our thoughts and wait for our answer.  God always answers. We need only listen and trust Him to answer and our new life will begin.

TAKE A FLYING LEAP

God is the strength in which I trust.” A Course In Miracles

“Today I will trust God as He trusts me.”

If we look into our heart we will see that it isn’t the world we fear. It is Love. We are afraid to trust that God is in charge and will make all the corrections necessary that will lead us to peace and harmony and healing. So in that sense we are not afraid of what we think is happening or will happen, we are afraid that God’s promises are not real. We are terrified that He will drop us from the cliff of our own uncertainty.  And so we make plans. Plans to protect and defend ourselves.  Plans on how to make things happen the way we think they should. Plans to be in the world on our terms instead of His. Human plans, ego plans, fear-filled plans. 

If we really trusted God we would feel all our burdens lifted and would at last understand that no matter how it looks or feels it must be all right, because God’s laws are governing this world, quietly waiting to transform chaos into calm, panic into peace.  As soon as we let Him. 

If we trusted in God instead of trying to “fix” things with our narrow understanding and our fear-filled little minds, all that is not of God would fall away and this world would be a different place. Now, would we live in confidence.  Now would joy be our constant companion. Now would we at last be healed and free.

Let’s join hands and take the leap from the precipice of limitation and dark thinking; from sad thoughts and worry and anxiety and watch with awe and gratitude as a miracle occurs.  What we will find is when we place our trust in God, we cannot fall for we have been given wings.

Let’s place our trust in God and take a flying leap because “God’s trust in you is limitless.” A Course In Miracles

Let our prayer be for healing and health for all the world. Let us ask for help with kindness and love and trust to generate the health and wellness, safety and peace of mind we want for every man, woman and child on earth. And then let us be grateful and say Thank You, God!

MISTAKES ARE STEPPING STONES

“…  in this world, forgiveness is a necessary correction for all the mistakes that we have made.” A Course In Miracles

“I will be tolerant and patient with myself and others today.”

We can use our mistakes and our fears as opportunities for learning and growing toward a more confident and happier, healthier self. This means looking at our weaknesses, and our fears without guilt or judgment, but with loving detachment and then quietly forgiving them. Not condoning or condemning, but simply looking and letting go. Seeing our weaknesses and mistakes honestly is not comfortable or easy for most of us, but it is a very important step for our healing and something we all need to do if we are to grow.

We can’t heap blame upon ourselves or become defensive and absolutely we must boot guilt out the door. I’m not saying that we don’t take responsibility for our mistakes, only that once we have taken responsibility and even apologized and made amends when necessary, that we then use the experience for something positive before we let it go.  It’s important to remember, nobody’s perfect in this world. 

Once we’ve gotten past them it’s important to use our imperfections as stepping stones toward a better life. In that way there are no regrets and everything, even our mistakes can serve a higher purpose. Also, being tolerant with ourselves makes it easier for us to be patient and tolerant with others. 

It’s time we laugh at ourselves more and lighten up about our judgments of everyone else. In this way we can foster harmony and balance within our own minds and hearts and extend this gift of learning and wisdom to the world.  Now, we are the answer, not the problem. And though we may not be perfect in this world, we are perfect in God.

TWISTED THINKING

“My grievances hide the light of the world in me.” A Course In Miracles

“I have the power of happiness within me.”

There are two aspects of us in this world. The aspect of the ego in which we live in fear and darkness.  And the aspect of the spirit in which all is light and wondrous and perfect. The aspect of the ego is minute, like a drop in the ocean and the aspect of the spirit is the ocean. Instead of seeing the drop becoming one with the ocean, we spend our days trying to force the ocean inside the drop.  See how uncomfortable and painful that is to live in such an unnatural state.  And yet we all do it.  We see the drop as our life and the ocean not at all. Or as a figment of our imagination, or an unattainable dream. If we only knew how bizarre that is, we would have to laugh at ourselves and our limited perceptions.   

The fact is that the only thing that is real is God (The Ocean) and He is pure Love. And we, as His blessed drops are created whole and perfect in His image. Thankfully God offers a way out of our backward, twisted thinking by allowing His presence to be in all things. That means that we can choose to see everything through the eyes of God’s Love if we wish and we can do this at any moment. 

Let us affirm ourselves:

“I have the power of happiness within me.  
I am willing to choose it now.”

 “I am a powerful, loving and perfect being. 
The fact that I have forgotten this cannot change it.”

“I am a beautiful, sacred and holy creation of a loving God and nothing else.”

“I am grateful to know I am a blessed drop in the Holy Ocean of God’s unlimited Love.”

REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE

“Offer God only your willingness to remember …
What you remember is part of you.”  
A Course In Miracles

 “Today I will remember who I am and why I’m here.”

At one time or another we all ask, Who am I? and Why am I here? The answer is simple.

“I am the glorious child of a loving God. And my purpose is to be free of all fear.”

Being without fear …
… engenders hope,
… allows us to extend and receive love more fully,
… opens our mind and heart to allow God’s Holy guidance,
… heals our heart, our mind and our body,
… encourages us to be our best self at all times,
… causes us to always remain calm and calms others,
… keeps us in a joyous state and attracts joy to us,
… protects us and our loved ones, keeping us safe in the light and love of God,
… allows us to be open to the abundance of a loving God,
… promotes forgiveness without condoning or condemning,
… lets us walk quietly in the world with our mind open to all possibilities,
… guarantees us a life dedicated to serving a higher purpose.

NOW REMEMBER …

You are the glorious child of a loving God. And your purpose is to be free of all fear.  It happens through forgiveness. Letting go and trusting God.

SHADOWS ON THE SNOW

“For the past can cast no shadow to darken the present, unless you are afraid of light.” A Course In Miracles

Pristine snow represents our pure thoughts. Shadows on the snow are caused by our fear thoughts.

Shadows move and change causing weaving patterns that may frighten us, but never really telling us anything of value.  And yet we pay much more attention to the shadows than we do to the purity of our own truth. We believe in the shadows not understanding that when we do this, we are turning our face from God and filling our minds and hearts with dark and strange illusions.  So which frightens us the most? The shadows we have come to see as our reality?  Or the light which is our own Holy Self?

Shadows are never constant. God always is.

Our shadow thoughts change from moment to moment, flitting here, landing there, distracting us with crazy ideas that we absolutely believe in.  Always keeping us a little anxious, a little angry, a little sad and confused.  We never wonder how can this be God?  We just assume it is just because it is our perception. We don’t ask, where is the love?  Where is the peace He speaks of?

But God, the pristine snow, is deep and silent and still.  Not the shadows, but the Light.  We can muddy up the surface with our shadow thinking. But we cannot change or harm the purity of God beneath the mess.

He remains changeless and eternal and always, always there for us and safely within us.

So let’s ask this question to break the pattern of our thinking. How do we get beneath the shadows to the pristine purity of God?  If God is really changeless and eternal and inside us then there must be a way to reach Him. And of course, there is.  For just a moment, let us lift our minds above the fear.  Instead of trying to hide from the shadows; instead of battling them, let’s look right at them. Our hearts may race like frightened mice through a maze as we face our enemy, the shadow, but keep looking. Before long a miracle occurs.  The shadows fade a little and then a little more. Before long we realize we can see straight through them. It’s true!  Shadows are not real. Now we can laugh at our fear thoughts.  All this time we have been battling shadows which God tells us are nothing at all.  The shadows may return, but they will never affect us the same again.

We are compelled to do the only thing that makes sense to us now. We fling ourselves upon the shadows that cover up the pristine whiteness and with great joy and delight we make snow Angels!

THE PROMISE

“God’s promises make no exceptions. “
“His Word has promised peace.”
A Course In Miracles

“I will accept God’s promises today.”

Let’s think of all the ways we keep our fears close,
Protecting them and worshipping them
As we fan the flames of pain and suffering
And keep alive all that we do not really want.

Where is Heaven now?

Being groundless our fears cannot attach themselves to 
Anyone or anything unless we choose to allow it.
Fear attached to nothing is harmless and will
Soon disappear into the nothingness from which it came.

Without fear’s darkness, we will see with clarity
God’s Holy Smile as it radiates throughout the world.
And we will know without a doubt that
The Promised Land has come and all is healed.

Let’s simply lay fear down
At the feet of He, Who tells us 
In Clear and Loving terms

“Children of God, your fears are groundless.
Heaven’s Peace is here and now and nowhere else.”

WE JUST DON’T KNOW ENOUGH

“I want to see the world through the eyes of God today.”

How we see ourselves and our brothers and sisters is our perception based upon a very limited view point. Most of us have only five senses at our disposal.  

“Only God knows all about all.”

Each one of us can see the same thing from a different lens and our interpretations and judgments and opinions will differ.

“Only God knows all about all.”

We all see the world through our own tunnel vision based upon our history and our beliefs and past and present experiences.

“Only God knows all about all.”

Nothing here is constant except change. This is a world of change. God is the only constant.

“Only God knows all about all.”

Our entire life here is based upon opinions that we interpret as facts. And even that can be altered in an instant as we re-think the facts or are given different or additional bits of  information.

“Only God knows all about all.”

Everything that brings us pleasure and everything that disturbs our peace, does so because of the way we interpret it. It is impossible not to have opinions in this world, but it is possible to lift those opinions, beliefs and judgments up to God and ask for help to see ourselves, our lives and the world in a different way, a new way, a better way.

“Only God knows all about all.”

God knows the entire back story of each of us which we seldom do, nor do we ask, “How did this person get so wounded?” or “Why am I in such pain?”

“Only God knows all about all.”

God will take our judgments and fears and redefine them for us, correct and purify them and then return them to us filled with love. We will still have opinions and perceptions, but now they will come from a place of love and we will be at peace because … 

“Only God knows all about all.”

I will be still today and let LOVE in because …

“Only God knows all about all.”

Let our prayer be for healing and health for all the world. Let us ask for help with kindness and love and trust to generate the health and wellness, safety and peace of mind we want for every man, woman and child on earth. And then let us be grateful and say Thank You, God!

FEELINGS ARE NOT SACRED

“I don’t know what this or anything is for.” A Course In Miracles

“I will take a step toward freedom today.”

Feelings are just feelings. We mustn’t be afraid to look at them.  Remember the old saying, “…there is nothing to fear, but fear itself.” It’s really true.

Fear is not a premonition.

Anxiety is not a sign of bad things to come. 

Depression doesn’t mean the world is coming to an end. 

These feelings only mean we’re afraid or sad or angry. These are just feelings. They don’t own us, but it is time for us to recognize that instead, we need to own them. The most powerful antidote is simply looking and seeing the feelings as something apart from us and not actually who we are.  The thought that “… this is just who I am” is based upon a false premise.  It is not who we are. It is what we perceive as our reality. Our perceptions are not the truth of us nor are they the truth of others. We have the right to believe in fear instead of Love, but is that what we really want to manifest into our life?

If the answer is no, let’s take a step toward freedom together and repeat in our minds a thousand times and then a thousand more. “I am as God created me.”  A Course In Miracles And do this until we believe, not in our limited and limiting perceptions but in God’s Holy Truth.

I GLADLY CHANGE MY MIND

“We cannot change the world. 
We can only change our mind about the world.” 
A Course In Miracles

“I will have the courage to change my mind today.”

Many of us speak of changing our mind as something negative. We call it flip flopping. We call it wishy washy. We call it weak.  We couldn’t be more mistaken.

To change our mind is to allow sanity to replace insanity. 
To change our mind is to let go of stubborn misperceptions.
To change our mind is to allow growth.
To change our mind is to let healing happen.

We cannot grow unless we are willing to change our mind.

The only way to change the world
Is to change our mind about the world.

That is powerful.

There is great courage and strength in the willingness to recognize we have been mistaken and then to change our mind. And God will help us do it.

Let our prayer be for healing and health for all the world. Let us ask for help with kindness and love and trust to generate the health and wellness, safety and peace of mind we want for every man, woman and child on earth. And then let us be grateful and say Thank You, God!

SANITY IS INNER PEACE

“If the situation is used for truth and sanity, its outcome must be peace.”  A Course In Miracles

  “I will choose to be sane today.”

We believe that we can only be at peace if the world is at peace.  It’s just the opposite.  Peace in our minds comes first and that brings peace to our world. Insanity is calmed by peaceful, loving thoughts and kindness and compassion in our hearts. If we believe that the world must be healed before we can have joy and abundance, we will be waiting a long time for what we want. We bring to ourselves what we are inside.  Like attracts like. Fear attracts fear. Love attracts Love.

Watching the news can be disheartening and frightening. It feels as though the world is out of our control. Let’s take our power back and calm the tidal wave of fear that threatens to undo us.  Even if the world appears insane, we can be sane in the midst of all the craziness. 

Let us be 
… the eye of the storm, 
… the center of gravity, 
… the quiet space between the chaos. 

First of all, let’s not believe for an instant that we have no choice, but to live in a crazy world.  Then let’s believe that also for everyone else. As we say

I give my life to God today, in everything I think and do and say.

Our Prayer is: 

“I am a Child of God, 
A Loving Creation, 
A Beautiful Being.”

And then let’s lift our heads, soften our vision, smile gently and act like one. 

♥♥♥♥♥♥

Let our prayer be for healing and health for all the world. Let us ask for help with kindness and love and trust to generate the health and wellness, safety and peace of mind we want for every man, woman and child on earth. And then let us be grateful and say Thank You, God!

THE HEALED HEALER

“A healed mind does not plan. It carries out the plans that it receives through listening to wisdom that is not its own.” A Course In Miracles

“I have no plans apart from God today.”

It is important that we face our fear thoughts. Once we understand our power for unhappiness is ours, we can begin to understand that our power for happiness is our choice as well.  

“I gladly make the sacrifice of fear.”  A Course In Miracles

Our decision to value our hurts and fears from the past blocks God’s Light and keeps us from our miracles. If we doubt that we are valuing our hurts and fears, we only need to listen to ourselves. What stories are we telling the world? What pain and anger and suffering are we still clinging to from yesterday and from years ago?

“I gladly make the sacrifice of fear.”  A Course In Miracles

Instead of judgment we must want forgiveness. Instead of hopelessness we must want joy. Only our self-imposed barriers to God’s Love block His Answers and His Healing.  We need do nothing but simply be willing to be happy and God will do the rest. In order to be open to His Voice, we must be willing to change our life’s story from one of a sad and sorry past to one of hope and trust in each moment – beginning now.

“I gladly make the sacrifice of fear.”  A Course In Miracles

It is the power of God within us that gives us the confidence and the opportunity to understand that we are so much more than our fears. If we take His hand, He will lead us gently from the darkness that we have made and into the Light that He has Created as our Holy Truth.  Now, we can forgive the past, let go of our anxiety about the future and rest in the light of this holy moment with Him. Through forgiveness and surrender we are opening for ourselves a channel of pure Love. It is from this point of Love, this Divine Love within our own mind, where true and permanent healing originates and from there that we must make our resolutions for change.

“I gladly make the sacrifice of fear.”  A Course In Miracles

And now we walk through the world, an instrument of peace and a teacher of joy. Now we are ready to learn to be a healed healer and we can bring peace and health and happiness with us everywhere we go.
