A Course in Miracles Lesson 290 My present happiness is all I see Unless I look upon what is not there,

My present happiness is all I see.

Eyes that begin to open see at last.

I would have Christ's vision come to me this very day.

What I perceive without God's own correction for the sight I made is frightening and painful.

I will not allow my mind to be deceived by the belief that the dream I made is real for an instant longer.

This is the day I seek my present happiness.

This is the day I look on nothing else except the present happiness I seek.

Father,

With the resolve to seek my present happiness,

I come to you.

Father,

I ask your strength to hold me up today while I seek to do your will.

You cannot fail to hear me,

Father.

What I ask you have already given to me.

I am sure that I will see my happiness today.

Unless I look upon what is not there,

My present happiness is all I see.
