This week’s lesson brought home to me the importance of being unselfed. To be working for the glory of God in all I do. It is easy to be selfish and focus on one’s personal problems and every day life in general. I see this selfishness as absorbing the mortal picture. As quoted in our lesson this week, Jesus tells us to, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” To me this is telling us we should be radiating.
“… by constantly sending forth thoughts of Love, Life, and Truth, whenever a delusion of their opposites presents itself…Am I radiating good or am I absorbing evil?” From the article Radiation and Absorption
“She (Mary Baker Eddy) discovered and passed on to us, as a priceless boon won through costly struggles, the knowledge that only as we find our happiness and our true spiritual destiny in receiving the things of God and giving them out to humanity, do we approach the divine standard.”

From this week’s Daily Watch “47-WATCH lest you endeavor to apply the scientific process of Christian Science with the notion that it will operate successfully with one’s thought turned in. It is a Science; it is exact and its rules must be rightly obeyed. One of its rules is that we must have unselfish and lofty motives..operates when thought is unselfed and turned out to bless all mankind.”
