Daily inspiration leads to full healing
Last year while I was on vacation, someone brought my attention to a lump on my back. Over the course of the next three months, I gave some thought to it and prayed about it. However, as the lump was not making me uncomfortable, and was not growing larger, I did not systematically and persistently pursue a healing either through spiritual or medical means. My prayer became sporadic and occasional.
About this time, I read a testimony in one of the Christian Science magazines that made me see the need to heal the notion that we can have an attachment to something that isn't derived from God, our creator.
I called a Christian Science practitioner to ask for help in solving this problem, and a period of consecrated discussion, prayer, and study followed. Each day brought me inspiration and spiritual light, which helped me overcome my fear. I felt more of a closeness to God and felt His ever-present love. The practitioner was always steadfast and loving, and I remember my joy in sensing that misunderstandings in my thinking were being uncovered so that they could be eradicated.
I felt the assurance that God was my source of being.
One Sunday morning as I got dressed for church, I inadvertently saw the area on my back. I was alarmed at the size and appearance of it. But I turned to God, acknowledging the spiritual adjustment that had taken place in my thinking over the past few weeks. As I did, I felt peace, and the assurance that God indeed was my source of being.
Later that morning the lump began draining, and in a few days it had completely disappeared.
Mrs. Eddy has given us tools to apply the truth of our being to every event of our lives. This gift to humanity brings regeneration and healing.
