Review of lessons 103 & 104.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

103] God, being Love, is also happiness.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

104] I seek what belongs to me in truth.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love is within me, is me. Therefore, joy and happiness are innate. They are in there, under all the clutter, waiting to be revealed. Remember!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are here, as students of the Course \u201cremoving the blocks to the awareness of Love\u2019s presence\u201d<\/em>. (ACIM Introduction)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thought of Robert teaching about our \u2018joy ball\u2019 back in my first year with Everyday Miracles. And I found the poem that I wrote last July entitled, \u2018Joy Bal<\/a>l\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love knowing that joy has been with me all along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4-27-2023<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

[103] God, being Love, is also happiness.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI choose to entertain no substitutes for love.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

[104] I seek but what belongs to me in truth.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

I accept happiness, light, joy, peace, and strength \u2013 the gifts God\u2019s Love bestows on me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4-27-2022<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

103 \u2013 God, being Love, is also happiness.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd so, I choose to entertain no substitutes for Love.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This quote says to me that Love is primary to my life. I need to put aside worries about my life to feel the Love in life, to see the Love in life, and smell, taste, hear the Love in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My life is blessed. I have been saying this routinely as of late. This means that Love is present and flowing through me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am blessed. I am with Love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

104 \u2013 I seek but what belongs to me in truth.<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Love and joy are my inheritance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLove is my heritage.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

God is Love and has always been Love. We\u2019ve been like those young adults who need to separate from the parents, perhaps even disappear for a while, to try out life for themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We turned away. God remained loving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Big Ah-ha, the Prodigal Son parable tells the story of humanity!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once we\u2019ve tried things our way, to test the good and the bad, we are ready to return to the parents and settle into a loving community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside:<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Just had the thought that Christ Jesus brought ACIM to us in this extensive, robust form as it is right for this time period of great focus on intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(They want deep study and concepts \u2013 I\u2019ll give them thousands of pages of deep concepts! LOL!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Jesus\u2019 time, a parable was enough to get the concepts through.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
