ACIM Workbook - 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 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.
