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 Workbook Lesson 323, W-pII.323. See also ACIM Lesson 323 Insights.)
The debt we owe to truth is to accept it as it is, to accept that only Love is real. The ego believes that sacrifice is loss. But when we let Love flow through our awareness, we experience only Love’s blessing; we experience God’s peace and joy. Love displaces fear’s darkness for darkness cannot exist in the presence of Love’s Light.
Today we welcome the Holy Spirit’s vision which shows us the truth of Love’s reality. We welcome the certainty of our safety that comes with awareness of Love’s eternal presence. We give up our attachment to the ego’s thought system of fear and guilt. We choose instead the Love of God, for we would remember He is our Home.
