Gratitude for Christian Science is my testimony today, especially for a healing of a serious condition that I believed could have been facial skin cancer. The healing occurred in just two or three days—after I was in this condition for three years.

All during that time I had been able to heal fear about this problem by realizing that the physical evidence of disease is not an actual fact, but is based on human belief. However, I was not able easily to appreciate that it was not my personal problem, but rather an impersonal, evil suggestion that I could either accept or reject, on the basis of spiritual truth. Identifying the condition as stemming from my own human belief was preventing me from clearly seeing myself as always God's spiritual idea.

My prayer, I saw, in this case was likened to drops of water on a stone, which finally make an impression. I continually held to the absolute truth that man is a perfect, spiritual idea of God and includes no element of error. As I did so, I could let go of the belief of something being "my problem," and realize that I didn't have to accept discord into my consciousness any longer.
