TGOG: Lesson #343; I am not asked to make a sacrifice to find the mercy and the Peace of God.

Giving increases us. The ego thinks when we give something away we have less of it. Giving thus becomes a "sacrifice." To feel this "loss" when we give is to affirm sacrifice is real. But when we receive God's Gifts we are increased, and God is increased when these Gifts are given. If we give more Love, we increase that Love in us and in the others to whom we are giving. Giving Gratitude increases the Gratitude. Giving Mercy away increases it—so it is not a sacrifice. Can we give and receive as one action? In this action there is no sacrifice. AMEN.
