I share God's Will for happiness for me.
You do not want to suffer. You may think it buys you something, and may
still believe a little that it buys you what you want. Yet this belief is surely
shaken now, at least enough to let you question it, and to suspect it really
makes no sense. It has not gone as yet, but lacks the roots that once secured
it tightly to the dark and hidden secret places of your mind.
Today we try to loose its weakened hold still further, and to realize that 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.
For several days we will continue to devote our periods of practicing to
exercises planned to help you reach the happiness God's Will has placed in
you. 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.
Begin your practice periods today with this acceptance of God's Will for
you:
<center>''I share God's Will for happiness for me,''</center>
<center>''and I accept it as my function now.''</center>
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. You have no need to be
less loving to God's Son than He Whose Love created him as loving as
Himself. Besides these hourly five-minute rests, pause frequently today, to
tell yourself that you have now accepted happiness as your one function.
And be sure that you are joining with God's Will in doing this.
