A TELEVISION AD CAN'T MAKE ME SICK

Beverly Goldsmith

What is the first thing a dog usually does after it gets wet? It shakes itself off vigorously! Believe it or not, this was the image that showed me the way to a final healing of cold sores.

The experience began when I saw a television advertisement for a cold sore cream. The commercial included a picture of the complaint, which reminded me of how badly I used to suffer with this condition. A few days later I found myself experiencing all of the symptoms of the problem, and I was tempted to feel discouraged.

Before my family was introduced to Christian Science, this condition had been a frequent part of my life. Then I started reading the Bible and Science and Health each day. From these books I discovered that I had a God-given right to be free from fear and disease. I found that our heavenly Father has created each of us in His likeness, as spiritual and perfect, not material and sickly.
