Sending Joy

“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

“Everything that happens is for my gain.”

Refusing to look at our fears will hold us back.  It is tempting to deny and suppress those feelings that are uncomfortable and even painful. The problem with that is then they never leave us. They sit inside us and fester like an infection that cannot be cured. In denying our pain, we make it stronger and allow it to control our lives. And at some point in time they either explode causing us to lash out at others or they implode causing us to break down and become addicted or sick in body, mind and spirit.

As difficult as it can be we need to take some time and grow still and look at our fears with detachment as best we can. The important thing to understand is that we are never alone in this. God is here and He sends guides and angels who gently help us look and let go so we can finally be free. “If you knew Who walks beside you on the way that you have chosen, fear would be impossible.” A Course In Miracles If we understand that everything is here to teach us something, we won’t be afraid to feel things positive or negative.  For now instead of good or bad they are simply lessons, stepping stones on our path to peace.

Trust and quiet confidence allows us to be a willing student and reminds us that everything we experience is part of the plan for a better life. Not our plan, but God’s.

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 we want for every man, woman and child on earth. And then let us be grateful and say Thank You, God!

“Joy is eternal. God’s peace and joy are yours.” A Course In Miracles

“The joy of God is what I am.”

Those who are the happiest in this world are so, not because of their worldly circumstances, but because of their inner desire for peace. When we look for peace within us, our worldly circumstances manifest this desire.  It’s not the other way around. We aren’t happy because we get what we want.  We get what we want because we have first chosen to be happy.  Until we have decided to be happy, we can’t even know what we want.

The power is in our own thinking.  The Universe can only open itself to us and offer us amazing opportunities when we have first opened our hearts to experience life through Love. This requires that we value ourselves as God values us. 

Our only real problem is that we don’t understand the simplicity of the joy of God.  It’s not something we do or something we have or the way our bodies look or feel.  IT IS WHAT WE ARE.  And that’s the thought we need to own.

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 we want for every man, woman and child on earth. And then let us be grateful and say Thank You, God!

“Easter is a sign of peace, not pain.” A Course In Miracles

 “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

“The mind that serves God is unlimited forever, in all ways, beyond the laws of time and space, unbound by any preconceptions, and with strength and power to do whatever it is asked. Attack thoughts cannot enter such a mind, because it has been given to the Source of love, and fear can never enter in a mind that has attached itself to love. It rests in God. And who can be afraid who lives in Innocence, and only loves?” A Course In Miracles

Letting go of fear and opening to LOVE may feel  scary at first. Like surfing a giant wave, parachuting from a plane or parasailing from a cliff.  But once we’ve taken off, all we can feel is the joyful power of the wave, and the freedom of falling into silence and beauty all around or the flying feeling as we parasail above the trees and over the land and sea. 

What joy!  What freedom!  What happiness!  The smile cannot leave our face as we face the Love of God.  Unlike surfing, parachuting or parasailing being free from fear is a natural state.  Our gift from God.  It belongs to us and always has.  We need only recognize it, accept it and allow gratitude, deep, deep gratitude to fill us. And we will never be afraid again.

Happily, we needn’t surf a giant wave or drop from a plane in order to be free of fear.  It happens much more powerfully if we just ask God to still our minds and quiet our thoughts. And so a decision must be made to let go of our thoughts and listen to another Voice, instead of the chattering monkey mind that rules our lives so much of the time.  “We take our wandering thoughts, and gently bring them back to where they fall in line with all the thoughts we share with God. We will not let them stray.” A Course In Miracles  

When we choose to listen peace will come. We can be in our homes, our cars, at work, out shopping, at a concert or anywhere and feel peace like a warm and comforting shawl of light resting lightly on our shoulders and freeing us of crazy thoughts that do not serve us, and more importantly, do not serve God Whose will for us is only happiness and joy. 

Our only job is to be willing to be an instrument of peace for God in the world.  And God will do the rest.

“I cannot see two worlds.” 
“Forgiveness is the key to happiness.” 
A Course In Miracles

“I will forgive all things today.”

“Forgiveness is the key to happiness.” Turn the key and open the door to freedom. As we crack the door of fear’s dark place through our forgiving thoughts, God’s Holy Light bursts in. It flows like sunlight’s golden rays and spreads a comforting warmth of reassurance and relief through every mind and heart. Here we know with quiet certainty that God is alive and well and we can rest in Him understanding with perfect clarity that His power of Love heals all things and everyone.

Fear and Love cannot inhabit the same space. Where light shines, darkness disappears. Where there is love, fear cannot be found. Where there is gratitude and joy, doubt and confusion disappear. There are not two worlds, but only one. And this one belongs to God. Let not our dark fear thoughts block His Light for He awaits us and our willingness to remember who we really are. God can only help us if we invite Him in.

The choice of where to live and Whom to follow and to trust is ours.
