I gladly make the sacrifice of fear.

[Guest guest]

A Course in Miracles Work Book Lesson 323

" 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 worshiped 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.
