"God's Will for me is perfect happiness."

 

Interpreted by Roberta Gallop

 

Daily Welcome:  Blessed day fellow travelers. Remember that old saying, "the truth will set you free, but first it's gonna piss you off"? For me this sums up the lesson in a nutshell. I always love watching you guys come up over that hill, some excited some not but all ready to go on one more day. I just love the pleasure of your company, and I'm sure that this is part of God's design for my happiness, cause nothing brings me more pleasure than that group hug before we head out the door and down the street. So, I guess there's nothing left to say except let's go for it.

 

Prayer: Blessed and Holy Spirit please continue to show me in every way possible what God's perfect happiness looks like for me in my life. And help me to know I am worthy of happiness and joy, just by the nature of who I am. Please continue to show me the truth regardless of the well meaning lies my mind is filled with. And most of all please help me to know God's love in every way possible. Thank you for being with me, and teaching me allways.

 

 

Workbook Lesson:  "God's Will for me is perfect happiness."  - This lesson has fake it till you make it written all over it. I know there's gotta be divine help out there somewhere, cause after all this the last thing it looks like in my life is perfect happiness. I've made that statement many times along my journey, because things have looked quite hopeless, and I've felt quite helpless. The good news is as I continue to trudge along this path to enlightenment, I get glimpses more and more and shown a whole new side to what happiness looks like. I can get a sense of a warm and loving God, and it can come right up out of nowhere. It's like I'm not doing anything particular, just going about my day, washing the dishes or something and then a smile comes to my face and I have that deep inner knowing that everything is exactly the way it's designed to be. So it's nice to believe that God Wills me perfect happiness, and I enjoy it when it's around. I think what helps bring it forward the most, is when I ask the Holy Spirit to guide me throughout my day asking only for knowledge of his will and the power to carry that out, (sound familiar?).

 

 

Thinking it Over: Another stumbling block here is I'm not really sure exactly what perfect is. I know the way I was raised perfect was kind of that lofty unattainable something that everybody strives for but nobody really achieves. At least I know I didn't get there according to the world's yardstick anyway. I know this sounds like a huge grumble session but it really isn't, I'm just being honest about the thinking process in mind that is being faithfully dismantled and reordered as I move forward through a Course in Miracles. So, I think a good ponder question here would be: If God was really giving me a perfectly happy world what might it look like?

 

Tips & Tricks: I have found that every lesson seems to have a theme that goes with a bunch of other lessons, so a lot of times the tips are gonna sound pretty similar to the last, which is the case now. I believe it's just so important that as those old ways of thinking come up through the lessons, that we really quietly challenge them by releasing and forgiving and accepting that the way we were taught was not always the truth. And those who taught us didn't know any better than we did, It was just what they were taught, and on and on and on. So, practicing a lot of gentleness with self and others I think it's the best tip of the day. Learning to relax as much as possible and stay in that place of peace and acceptance will go a long way in this ascension process.

 

Upon Closing: Yay team, we got a little bit further down that road and don't it feel good. I absolutely loved it when you turned around and blew raspberries at the rest of the class, it made me feel so wanted and accepted. Maybe God would like some raspberries too. Let's head on over to the church for some biscuits and gravy, after all God wants us to be perfectly happy, right? Have an awesome day.

Love and Light you guys. Riki 🌈
