Lesson 66
My happiness and my function are one. God gives me only happiness. He has given my function to me. Therefore my function must be happiness.My happiness and function are one, because God has given me both. There is a very real connection between the function God gave you and your happiness, and they are actually identical. Love cannot give evil, and what is not happiness is evil. God cannot give what He does not have, and He cannot have what He is not. You will listen to madness or hear the truth. On one side stand all illusions. All truth stands on the other. Let us try today to realize that only the truth is true.

The ego does constant battle with the Holy Spirit on the fundamental question of what your function is. So does it do constant battle with the Holy Spirit about what your happiness is.
Only in acceptance of Love is found your true happiness. “What is not love is murder”. The form does not matter. The Ego can be cunning and tricky and we fall into its trap more often than not. In a moment of despair, the Holy Spirit gently reminds us:
“You but mistake interpretation for the truth. And you are wrong. But a mistake is not a sin, nor has reality been taken from its throne by your mistakes. God reigns forever, and his laws alone prevail upon you and upon the world. His Love remains the only thing there is. Fear is illusion, for you are like Him.” (M-18;7-12)
You may think that there are many reasons to choose Love, but in reality there is only one. Love is the only real choice. Everything else is an illusion.
From Chapter 31:
Trials are but lessons which you failed to learn presented once again, so where you made a faulty choice before you now can make a better one, and thus escape all pain which what you chose before has brought to you. In every difficulty, all distress, and each perplexity you face, Christ calls to you, and gently says, "My brother, choose again." He would not leave one source of pain unhealed, nor any image left to veil the truth.
