Function Filling

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 in the world. It may seem as though our little offerings aren’t worth much, but I’ve recently heard of the effects of a small gift given many years ago in the form of $20 a month. 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 write letters in return. I always wondered if our donation 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 he 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!

“Truth not error, Love not hate, Spirit not matter, governs man.” Science & Health with Key to the Scriptures Page 419:3-4
