I am not asked to make a sacrifice to find the mercy and the peace of God.
The end of suffering can not be loss. ²The gift of everything can be but gain. ³You only give. ⁴You never take away. ⁵And You created me to be like You, so sacrifice becomes impossible for me as well as You. ⁶I, too, must give. ⁷And so all things are given unto me forever and forever. ⁸As I was created I remain. ⁹Your Son can make no sacrifice, for he must be complete, having the function of completing You. ¹⁰I am complete because I am Your Son. ¹¹I cannot lose, for I can only give, and everything is mine eternally.
The mercy and the peace of God are free. ²Salvation has no cost. ³It is a gift that must be freely given and received. ⁴And it is this that we would learn today. (A Course in Miracles, W-343. See also ACIM Lesson 343 Insights.)
Because God is only Love, we, His Son, must also be only Love. Love is given us in limitless supply. By extending the Love we have been given, we teach ourselves that we are Love.
The ego is the idea of keeping something for itself alone, which no one else has. This attitude of limitation makes us unaware of our limitless supply of Love. It gives us a sense of loss, lack and a need to sacrifice to get. This thought must be forgiven and let go for us to know the limitless love we are.
Today we practice looking at the world through eyes of Love. As we see the Love that surrounds us, we awaken to the Love we are.
