What heals?

RUANNE Y. GENTRY

God heals. He is omnipotent. Christian Science is effective because its healing method is based on this understanding. All scientific healing is brought about by the divine Mind. A Christian Science practitioner, a friend, or we ourselves can heal by reflecting Mind's power, but the power itself originates and remains in Mind. In truth, God is the only doer.

The realization that God alone is power and that His power is absolute frees us from the crippling thought that our understanding is inadequate or that we are too new in Science or that fear or pain is too insistent. Our healing capability surfaces as we allow divine Love to envelop us in its gentle touch.

Every individual can claim and exercise the ability to express the spiritual insight that is his as the idea of Mind. He can transform the whole body of his experience through an understanding of the true source and substance of his thought. This transformation, while appearing to human view as better health, a healed relationship, or more adequate finances, is really a revelation of man's spiritual wholeness and affluence.
