“I am not asked to make a sacrifice to find the mercy and the peace of God.”
The Peace and Benevolence that characterize Source are part of you, since you are an extension of Source and the doorway through which Source flows into extension and expansion.
Thinking in terms of sacrifice is indicative of a misunderstanding regarding your true nature. The only things you give up when you recognize and embrace Peace are: struggle, strife and limitation!
Key is to know who you really are, to understand and live your true nature as emissary of all that is good and lovely. Everything else is a misunderstanding that is waiting for you to invite the Light. Then its rays will shine any misunderstanding away.
