A testimony of healing illustrates God's loving care for His creation, man. It is this love, bringing an ever-present awareness of my unity with God, that was clearly present in my consciousness as a physical healing took place.

A dentist told me that I had an area of infection around one of my molars and this would need treatment. He left the room for a moment, and this gave me an opportunity to reverse this statement of error with the truth of my pure identity as God's reflection. When the dentist returned, it became apparent he intended to treat the problem medically. I explained I did not use medication and would handle the problem in my own way. His only comment was that I would be "on my own" by declining his treatment.

As I drove home I knew that in reality I was never "on my own," for God is ever present to help and guide me. Over the next few days I challenged the mortal suggestion that man could include an impurity. Using the Concordance to Mrs. Eddy's writings, I studied references on purity, harmony, action, and identity. Each time an erroneous concept regarding man tried to present itself as true, it was denied, reversed, and replaced with the present knowledge of my true, flawless identity as God's perfect expression. It became clear to me that no matter what the physical evidence, I was at that very moment, and always, a pure reflection of God's being. And as this reflection I could not possess anything unlike my source.
