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. The gift of everything can be but gain. You [God} only give. You never take away. And You created me to be like You, so sacrifice becomes impossible for me as well as You. I, too, must give. And so all things are given unto me forever and forever. As I was created I remain. Your Son can make no sacrifice, for he must be complete, having the function of completing You. I am complete because I am Your Son. I cannot lose, for I can only give, and everything is mine eternally.
The mercy and the peace of God are free. Salvation has no cost. It is a gift that must be freely given and received. And it is this that we would learn today. (A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 1343, W-pII.343. See also ACIM Lesson 343 Insights.)
We know we have Love by giving It. When we are kind to a brother, we feel its blessing ourselves. When we forgive a brother for something we perceived he did, a weight is lifted off our shoulders. Peace replaces fear or anger. Happiness replaces sadness or depression. Giving the gift of God’s Love, peace and joy is always a gift we give ourselves.
Let us practice today using Christ’s vision to see Love’s innocence in everyone. And we will be truly blessed.
