Welcome to Active Meditation.
A Course in Miracles,
Lesson 103 God,
Being love,
Is also happiness.
Happiness is an attribute of love.
Happiness cannot be apart from love.
Nor can happiness be experienced where love is not.
Love has no limits,
Being everywhere.
Therefore,
Joy is everywhere as well.
Yet,
The mind can deny that this is so,
Believing there are gaps in love,
Where sin can enter,
Bringing pain instead of joy.
This strange belief would limit happiness by redefining love as limited and introducing opposition in what has no limit and no opposite.
Fear is associated then with love,
And its results become the heritage of minds that think that what they have made is real.
These images,
With no reality in truth,
Bear witness to the fear of God.
Forgetting being love,
God must be joy.
This basic error we will try again to bring to truth today,
And teach ourselves God,
Being love,
Is also happiness.
To fear God is to be afraid of joy.
Begin your practice periods of practicing today with this association,
Which corrects the false belief that God is fear.
It also emphasizes happiness belongs to you because of what God is.
Let's practice.
Say to yourself,
Repeat after me,
God,
Being love,
Is also happiness.
To fear God is to be afraid of joy.
Allow this one correction to be placed within your mind each waking hour today.
Then,
Welcome all the happiness it brings,
As truth replaces fear.
And joy becomes what you expect to take the place of pain.
God,
Being love,
It will be given you.
Poster this expectation frequently throughout the day,
And quiet all your fears with this assurance,
Kind and wholly true.
God,
Being love,
Is also happiness,
And it is happiness I seek today.
I cannot fail because I seek the truth.
Let's practice again.
Repeat after me,
God,
Being love,
Is also happiness.
And it is happiness I seek today.
I cannot fail because I seek the truth.
Ponder on this.
God,
Being love,
Is also happiness.
And it is happiness I seek today.
I cannot fail because I seek the truth.
God,
Being love,
Is also happiness.
And it is happiness I seek today.
God,
Being love,
Is also happiness.
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.
