It Can Be But My Gratitude I Earn | ACIM Lesson 197 | By: Amariyah Speaks

We’re often wait for people to acknowledge our worth, return our kindness, or finally say thank you for all we've done. But A Course in Miracles flips the script:

“It can be but my gratitude I earn.”

This isn’t about earning in the egoic sense—it’s a reminder that what we give, we experience.

💫 Metaphysical Truth:

Gratitude isn't for others—it's a reflection of our own alignment with love.

When we give from our heart—genuine appreciation, compassion, presence—we’re not just giving to them…we’re giving to ourselves.

There is no separation. What we extend is what we reinforce in our own mind.

🧘🏾‍♀️ What This Looks Like:

• Blessing the moment even when it’s uncertain

• Thanking your body before it changes

• Offering kindness to someone who doesn’t “deserve” it

• Saying “thank you” to life before the answer comes

Gratitude isn’t a reward. It’s a frequency. A way of returning to our truth.

💡 Try This Today:

Before you react—pause. Find one thing to appreciate. Then say:

“I receive what I give. I lead with gratitude.”

Notice how your energy softens and expands.

You’re not waiting for gratitude—you’re becoming it.

Let it lead you home.
