God's love heals
When I was a teen-ager in a Christian Science Sunday School, my teacher told the class: "Any physical symptom of disease is a temptation to believe there is a place where God's love for man does not reach. But God's love for man is present everywhere; and when it is realized and felt, it is a powerful healing influence."
As the years have passed, I have learned that God's love for us is not an abstraction. God is Love, immortal Mind. He does not know of mankind's dream of mortal existence with its woes and heartaches. But He does impart to us all the recognition of His own perfect, spiritual creation and His loving care of it, and this perception is a powerful healing agent.
One of the greatest needs of mankind is to understand what love really is. It is much more than emotion or even deep-rooted personal attachment. When we begin to see through the pain and pleasure of this finite sense of love, we are ready to understand the unending harmony and perfection of the love of God, infinite, divine Love. God's love is spiritual, ever present, and powerful, embracing everyone, everywhere, and it heals.
