A midnight lesson in healing

BY JUDITH HARDY OLSON

WHO DOESN'T WANT TO FIND HEALING in every aspect of one's life? But sometimes this search can feel automatic, and we need fresh insight.

Christian Science healing, based entirely on the laws of one universal God, is in itself a fresh radical approach, since physicality and human reasoning play no part in spiritual, scientific prayer.

It's normal to feel a longing to be and do better. As this desire is nurtured, it blossoms into higher hopes and goals, becoming fuller rather than faltering or fading. With each new hope, faith replaces fear and trust replaces doubt. The fresh start promotes a more spiritual outlook on everything, and the certainty of healing becomes more apparent. Past hurts fade, hearts soften. Suddenly we've become healthier, happier, holier.
