"I share God's Will for happiness for me."

 

Interpreted by Roberta Gallop

 

Daily Welcome:  Another fine day in the neighborhood, and I'm so excited to share it with you, my buddies, my fellow Course students. I was thinking about littleness this morning and how it's a tricky thing, because I can go from feeling pretty good, to shrinking into that violet in less than two seconds all based on what thoughts come up into my mind. So, I think, I'll think, about friendship and sharing instead. Let's do some wonderful group hugs and get down to the business of moving on.

 

 

Prayer: Dear God, I'm glad you've got three functions because I never know what to call you at any given time. Please help me this day to know there is nothing wrong with me. To recognize the truth is I am your creation, a thought in your mind. And to remember that everything you thing is pure and good, so there for so am I. Please help me to learn that I may teach, and to be open that I may learn. I love you, and I am so grateful that you Will me happy, allways. Thank You.

 

 

Workbook Lesson:  "I share God's Will for happiness for me." - At first thought, I think God's pushing the envelope a little bit. Here I am just starting to get used to the idea that God wants perfect happiness for me and now I'm supposed to wanted it for myself. My head goes right to the place of you have to believe something's possible, before you Will it, right? These particular lessons are really bringing up my worthless mindset, and I'm sure that's what they're designed to do, so I can work on forgiving and releasing the thoughts that cause it. It hits me right in that place of I don't deserve it, I don't deserve the happiness God wants for me. So, this is where the previous lessons come into play, basically recognizing that I truly know very little about God's will for me, and I don't know my own best interests.  By calling in the Holy Spirit and remembering my true desire to awaken, I can breathe and recognize I am not doing this alone. My mind is lovingly and systematically being guided by the lessons in A Course in Miracles to recognize that God's been doing the driving all along, It just wanted me to have the experiencing of being behind the wheel.

 

Thinking it Over:  So, this brings in another place where we can work on acting as if. A great desire in my life has been to teach the Course. So that's a place God and I can meet in the middle, because It Wills for me to be happy and my ability to teach the Course brings me happiness. So what acting as is if might look like here, is by recognizing the thoughts that are standing in the way of my wanting and accepting God's will for me, the channel becomes open for me to teach through, because it's really not me teaching anyway, it's God teaching through me. And this is a place where my littleness was definitely getting in the way. Where are your littleness thoughts preventing you from Willing happiness for yourself?

 

Tips & Tricks: Here's something else I learned about happiness, that because of the dysfunction throughout my life when I do feel happiness I don't allows recognize it at first, and when I do recognize it, I don't always trust it. So a good tip here is to thank God for it, be grateful and relax and enjoy as much as possible. I like to remind myself that it's ok to be happy. So, again a little gentleness goes a long way. I don't stop doing what I was doing, I just keep going and doing the next right thing and be a little less critical of myself.

 

 

Upon Closing: This scenic excursion was a trip, I thoroughly enjoyed myself and I hope you did too. I'm feeling in one of those kick back moods, so let's lay down and do cloud pictures. Do elephants have wings? Mine do.

Love and Light, Riki 🌈
