Everything was well all along

Betty Morgan

Last summer, while I was playing golf with several friends, a golf ball hit me in the back of the neck with great force. I fell to my knees but instantly declared, "All is well, all is well."

The woman who'd hit me with the wayward ball ran toward me and said, "All is not well. I just hit you with the golf ball!" But what I had said was a declaration of a fact about God.

I was able to walk to a nearby shelter and collect my thoughts. My friends showed me a lot of love and concern, but I really knew that all was well. God doesn't create mishaps and accidents, and since He was the only creator, I couldn't experience something that He didn't create.

I was able to finish playing in the golf tournament, which had another five holes to go. (Our team even finished second!)

My neck was tender to the touch that night, but was never swollen or even discolored. The next day, the tenderness had been healed as well. I am very grateful for this.

God doesn't create mishaps and accidents.

A second healing involved a dental situation. Fifteen years ago I was told that I needed an operation on my gums in order to save my teeth. After being told this, I thought about Mary Baker Eddy's discussion of who God made us to be.

In the first part of the discussion, she wrote: "Man is idea, the image, of Love; he is not physique. He is the compound idea of God, including all right ideas" (Science and Health, p. 475).

I affirmed these spiritual facts about myself every time I brushed or flossed my teeth.

When I saw the dentist recently, she said, "I never believed that those teeth would tighten and that your gums would be sturdy and healthy."

Well, I believed it—and never doubted!
