ACIM Lesson #143

Review of:
(125) In quiet I receive God's Word today.
(126) All that I give is given to myself.

When something is true you don't have to believe it --

Truth is true, no matter how you conceive it --

You can't change truth, you just have to receive it --

And if you make a mistake then God can reprieve it --

If you've lost God's Gift, now’s the time to retrieve it.

If you have an argument with God, just plead it;

If you have an aching hunger, just feed it;

If God's Garden’s overgrown, just weed it;

If you have a wound in your body don't bleed it --

Just listen to God's Holy Word -- you'll need it.

Because you're God's Son

You give gifts to everyone --

Your chosen role

Is to lighten each soul,

So let this be your goal.

When the Gifts of God flow through you,

The Gifts of God come to you --

Existence is a sieve --

What you want to get, you must give --

This is how God wants you to live.

Here’s the lesson 
We’ve learned today:

There's just one way

To make love stay:

You won't have love 
Till you give it away.
