Skin growth dissolved

Ann Kneeland with contributions from Jennifer Kneeland

Two summers ago, a small growth on my shoulder suddenly became greatly enlarged and alarming in appearance. I began to think carefully about the clothing I wore, to be sure the area remained out of view.

I’ve always relied on prayer—spiritual treatment—for my health needs, and I’ve been satisfied with the results. But at first spiritual treatment was a struggle in this situation, because the growth seemed so obvious. However, as I persisted, a sentence from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy became the simple, powerful foundation of my treatment. It points to the flawless nature of God’s spiritual creation and explains that the truth of what God has created has the effect of removing the appearance of what God didn’t create. The sentence reads, “A spiritual idea has not a single element of error, and this truth removes properly whatever is offensive” (p. 463).
