'We'll have a wonderful healing'
One evening earlier this summer, as I was sitting at a desk in a hotel room finishing some paperwork, I felt a tingling in my lower abdominal area. I had never felt anything like it before. The sensation soon grew into pain. I spent a few minutes in the bathroom, but the discomfort continued, and I began to be fearful about what might be happening to me.
The thought of my dad's difficulties with kidney stones, which had resulted in surgery some years back, flashed through my mind. My immediate concern was that I might possibly be dealing with the same condition.
Through years of studying Christian Science, however, I had learned that only what God gives to His creation is true and actual. And what God gives is invariably good and shows His love for us. So disease, pain, illness, can be viewed as errors of thought—lies—which dissolve through our understanding of God.
