I gladly make the “sacrifice” of fear — Here is the only “sacrifice” You ask of Your beloved Son; You ask him to give up all suffering, all sense of loss and sadness, all anxiety and doubt, and freely let Your Love come streaming in to his awareness, healing him of pain, and giving him Your Own eternal joy. Such is the “sacrifice” You ask of me, and one I gladly make; the only “cost” of restoration of Your memory to me, for the salvation of the world.
And as we pay the debt we owe to truth,—a debt that merely is the letting go of self-deceptions and of images we worshipped falsely—truth returns to us in wholeness and in joy. We are deceived no longer. Love has now returned to our awareness. And we are at peace again, for fear has gone and only love remains. (A Course in Miracles W-pII.323)
Today we practice stepping back and watching ego thoughts with Holy Spirit as they pass by. As we watch we let go of the images we have worshipped falsely with the help of our inner Teacher. With Holy Spirit, we practice not getting caught by these images. We give the Holy Spirit a chance to restore to us the awareness of Love’s presence. We give the Holy Spirit an opening to return us to the state of peace where we belong.
Joined with the Holy Spirit, we return to our only function of receiving Love and extending Love. We are now willing to let go of fear and experience our freedom to extend and be Love in the one Mind of Love.
