One day I decided I couldn't go on just reading that lesson. It had to mean something to me. I had to be able to feel that here was God talking to me, healing me. And so I sat down with the lesson one day and interpreted every single sentence I read, from the subject of the lesson right to the last quotation from the textbook, in terms of what I thought it included in spiritual teaching for me.
This is how I still study the Lesson-Sermon. I am still asking myself: What does this mean to me? And I find the message highly personal. It shows me how to look at things more spiritually from where I am in my growth Spiritward.
My study shows me what mortal tendencies and feelings to get rid of and what qualities of Love and Truth to put on to keep on growing. And above all, my study shows me how little I have as yet achieved along this line of spiritual accomplishment and how deep my need is for more light— more very earnest study and prayer and practice.
