The Forms of Extended Love

ACIM Workbook Lesson #192

“I have a function God would have me fill.”

We are created from Love and it is our function to extend this Love to the world. It may seem that our little offerings aren’t worth much, but I’ve recently heard of the effect of a small offering given in the form of $20 a month many years ago. My boys and I gave to an organization which helped children in Africa. We occasionally got notes from a boy named Paul Ndungu and we would send him letters back. I always wondered if our small gesture really made a difference. Recently this boy, now a young man, found me on Facebook and wrote asking if I was the same person who had helped him when he was a child. He tells me it did make a difference! He would not have been able to go to school without this gift and he is now in the Kenya Air Force and attended university, too! And so, whatever form your giving may take, never be afraid to follow through with your intuitive feelings, because we never know how far Love will extend!
