ACIM Workbook - Lesson 322

I can give up but what was never real.

I sacrifice illusions; nothing more. And as illusions go I find the gifts illusions tried to hide, awaiting me in shining welcome, and in readiness to give God's ancient messages to me. His memory abides in every gift that I receive of Him. And every dream serves only to conceal the Self which is God's only Son, the likeness of Himself, the Holy One Who still abides in Him forever, as He still abides in me.

Father, to You all sacrifice remains forever inconceivable. And so I cannot

sacrifice except in dreams. As You created me, I can give up nothing You

gave me. What You did not give has no reality. What loss can I anticipate

except the loss of fear, and the return of love into my mind?
