A COURSE IN MIRACLES
LESSON 83

Today let us review these ideas:
(65) My only function is the one God gave me.

My perception of this does not change my function.
This does not give me a function other than the one God gave me. 
Let me not use this to justify a function God did not give me.


(66) My happiness and my function are one.

This cannot separate my happiness from my function.
The oneness of my happiness and my function remains wholly unaffected by this. 
Nothing, including this, can justify the illusion of happiness apart from my function.

Think on This...

Thus no wonder confusion comes, unless there is held to the one mighty purpose--Love Divine that so overshadows all else as to be that alone that makes an experience in the earth worth while . . .
