A Quiet Joy

The ego tells us that many things are "treats" to us and will bring us much joy, however, we plummet afterward with the sugar high and into depression. The Holy Spirit warns us of the ego's tricks and encourages us to instead aim for a quiet joy by entering into God's Presence regularly. As it says in A Course in Miracles, "From this day forth, your ministry takes on a genuine devotion, and a glow that travels from your fingertips to those you touch, and blesses those you look upon. A vision reaches everyone you meet, and everyone you think of, or who thinks of you. For your experience today will so transform your mind that it becomes the touchstone for the holy Thoughts of God."
