Day 101: God's Will for me is perfect happiness.

Today we are reminded that God created us with Love, and that the expression of that Love is joyous.

God's Will for me is perfect happiness.

The workbook lesson in A Course in Miracles elaborates on this message of good tiding:

God's Will for you is perfect happiness because there is no sin, and suffering is causeless.  Joy is just, and pain is but the sign you have misunderstood yourself.  Fear not the Will of God.  But turn to it in confidence that it will set you free from all the consequences sin has wrought in feverish imagination... There is no sin; it has no consequence.

God wills for us to have perfect happiness, because our purpose of being created is to experience every multitude of Joy we can extract in our existence.  We are a part of God, so why would He have us experience anything less than the grandest and happiest experiences?

We have been given free will in order to yield an infinite number of joyful experiences.  If we had no free will, we would be limited in our ability to experience the Divine in as many ways as we could conceive.  The unfortunate aspect of free will is that we may also choose to have fear-based experiences, which we only do when we forget Who We Really Are.  These negative experiences are the result of what we call sin.  But they do not exist.  They are illusions, and as such, there is no such thing as sin.  In actuality, even the good things we experience on the physical plane of earth are illusions, but the emotional response we have to each experience – that quality of the experience which moves our spirit – is retained by us and by God in a very Real place, forever awaiting us in Heaven.  These are the pearls of Delight we have been sent here to retrieve.

Our purpose of being here is to experience Joy, Love, and Peace in as many ways as possible.  We are incarnated as trillions of different life-forms on this planet alone, and an infinite number more on other planets, because no one physical being could possibly experience all of the aspects of Joy that God is capable of.  We are His messengers of Joy, and for Joy.  And where His individuated Aspects of Divinity have forgotten Who They Really Are – where they have begun to make physical manifestations of fear over Love – we are here to remind them.  We do this through Forgiveness, which is also our salvation.  This, too, is a unique experience of Joy, for what else could produce such a feeling of warmth and care and satisfaction than being of service to your Brothers and Sisters?

Let the Happiness which God has bestowed upon you well up within and radiate outward all throughout your days.  Let the Spirit of your Joy be infectious, so that others may recognize within themselves the Perfect Joy of God residing in the core of their Being.  We can do no wrong, so let us forgive ourselves and one another for any perceived transgressions from the past.  The pain is an illusion, but the Joy we feel when we See past the pain is kept safe for us in the Reality of our Lord in Heaven.  It is ours eternally.

Be blessed, be well, and bear Light unto your Brothers and Sisters here on earth.

Until tomorrow,
Journeyman
