WE CAN EXPECT HEALING

PARK WOLAVER

Are we looking for healing in Christian Science? If we are, we need to feel God's boundless love for us. In "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" Mary Baker Eddy says (pp. 365, 366), "The poor suffering heart needs its rightful nutriment, such as peace, patience in tribulation, and a priceless sense of the dear Father's loving-kindness."

Nutriment is something a person takes to nourish himself. So this "sense of the dear Father's loving-kindness" that we need is a spiritual sense of God's love which we take in mentally to nourish ourselves. Mrs. Eddy calls it "a priceless sense."

One reason a sense of God's love for us is "priceless" is that it helps us to expect healing, and to expect healing is as important as it is for a baseball player to expect to receive a ball that is being thrown to him. God continually bestows health on us as His children. Let us expect healing.
