I gladly make the “sacrifice” of fear.
.
1. 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. ²Such 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.
.
2. 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. ²We are deceived no longer. ³Love has now returned to our awareness. ⁴And we are at peace again, for fear has gone and only love remains.

(ACIM, W-323.1:1–2:4)
.
* “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.”
.
* I give up belief that anything of this world that feels like suffering is REAL. This is why I walk in peace and eternal joy when I am fully aware of the drama that life can present to our senses.
.
* “… the only “cost” of restoration of Your memory to me …” I GLADLY choose to REMEMBER that GOD IS. This is NOT a cost but a blessing that has no bounds, no limitations, and nothing but abundance.
.
* “³Love has now returned to our awareness.”
.
* GOD and the LOVE that HE IS has now returned to our awareness. This is crucial to understanding this truth.
.
* “⁴And we are at peace again, for fear has gone and only love remains.”
.
* And we are at peace again, for GOD has replaced fear as our reality and only God’s Love remains as our truth.
.
To God be all glory, in the Name of Christ, amen.

Till next tie, God bless, debi.
