This term is related to the conviction of faith that enables us to accept whatever happens and whatever is happening as manifestations of God the Parent's providence. It is due to a desire to save us that God the Parent shows us whatever occurrences we encounter. We are taught that it is, therefore, important for us to rise above the point of view from which it matters whether these occurrences suit our convenience or not so that we can accept them for what they are, reflect upon our use of the mind, and ponder God's intention embodied in the occurrences. When one perceives God's intention behind whatever is happening, joy will arise. This process is referred to as "finding joy in the truth of arising occurrences" and represents a major teaching on spiritual growth. A Divine Direction says:

Even if you try to cause something to happen, it may not happen. Even if you try not to let something happen, it may happen. Understand this truth.
