God’s will and mine

The lesson I read from A Course in Miracles today is two-parts:

God’s will for me is perfect happiness.

I share God’s will for me of perfect happiness.

God expressed our being of Its spirit. God’s intention was to express happiness, peace, satisfaction, joy. God expressed love. We are that love. We are where God comes to a point of individualized, personalized expression of that love.

I believe God’s intention is that we, the spiritual expressions of Godness, know happiness. By knowing happiness we know ourselves as the perfect spirit we are. By knowing our happiness, we share the happiness among ourselves, a universal synergy of happiness perfected.

So here’s the catch. How come we are not 100% happy, 100% of the time? What comes between us and happiness? No, I should ask that as, what do we place between us and happiness?

God’s will is that we be happy. Our goal (indeed our reality) is to share God’s will. Then, the happiness is ours to know, to have, to be.

We can create our own emotional havoc by worrying when and how we’ll make the car payment or cover the rent.
Or we can know the bills will be paid.

We can fret and stew about the difficulty finding a job and being without work means and says about us.
Or we can know at once, right now, we are finding the job and the job is finding us.

We can focus on the dis-ease and the pain of whatever ailment we feel in our body.
Or we can know we are of perfect Spirit and that Spirit wants our body well and healthy

We can exercise our human will despite its being contrary to God’s Will that we know perfect happiness. Or we can share God’s will, know the happiness first, and allow that to create the smaller, specific happiness we lament not knowing in our daily lives.

If it is God’s will that I be happy, who am I to argue?
