Summary

Lesson 217 reviews Lesson 197, with the central theme: “It can be but my gratitude I earn.” This lesson emphasizes the concept that gratitude is something that is both earned and experienced through one’s alignment with love, forgiveness, and divine understanding. It teaches that as we extend love and forgiveness to others, we also experience a deep sense of gratitude within ourselves. This sense of gratitude is not earned in the material sense but is a natural result of living in harmony with spiritual principles.

Lesson Text

I am not a body. I am free.
For I am still as God created me.

(197) It can be but my gratitude I earn.
