GOD'S WILL ABOUT HAPPINESS
Question—I prayed that a friend of mine might be united with me again, without result. If it is God's will for me to be (page 23) unhappy, I will have to submit. I don't think it is any use to pray any longer.

ANSWER-It is never the will of God or universal harmony to have any person suffer. To do so would be to contain within itself—harmony—an element of inharmony: which, of course, is an impossibility. We are taught that God is Love, and that in Him we live and move and have our being. Get this firmly fixed in your conscious mind, that God knows nothing about unhappiness, and since you are a free choosing agent, and permit it to manifest, it will cause you suffering. Remember, you choose, and the law fulfills. Whatever it is that seems to separate you from your friend, if you will love that friend with no other desire than his happiness and perfect freedom, and if you will set apart a time each day for the practice of unselfishly loving that person, the whole situation will clear. Know that if it is right for you to have this particular desire made manifest in your life, it will be brought into your experience at the right time and in the right way. Know definitely that there is no misunderstanding in Divine Mind.
