Accept the healing truth

DONALD M. SWINNEY

When I told a Christian Science practitioner I had a headache, she assured me it wasn't of God and I could be free by accepting the truth of being. She declared that divine Spirit made all, that God didn't make anything harmful, and that I was in reality His perfect image.

For the next half hour she continued to explain the truth of God and man. She said that since man is spiritual, he is governed only by divine Spirit; and that evil is unreal, having no life or intelligence.

Before leaving, I asked her to pray for me. But to make sure that she was fully aware of my suffering, I told her exactly where my head hurt and described the pain in detail. Tenderly she replied, "You haven't heard a word I've said!"
