Damaged lungs restored

Some time ago, I developed a cough that lasted for a few months and became aggravated. I didn’t give much thought to it, almost ignored it, and the cough persisted.

My elder son, who lives in Mumbai, was visiting us during that time when I was coughing frequently. My family does not follow Christian Science, and my son asked me to go for a medical checkup. I reluctantly agreed, and he took me to his family doctor. After an X-ray was taken and the physician checked my breathing, he said there was extensive damage to my lungs. I don’t recall the specific diagnosis, as I am not familiar with medical terminology, but he predicted that I had but very little time to live. 

In my thoughts, I kept denying this belief of disease and holding to the truth that Life is God. I did not accept the verdict that I had a short time to live. I affirmed that my life is eternal. What the doctor was saying was human belief and not the truth of my being. I very clearly knew that I am a perfect image and reflection of God, and I am in the kingdom of God, where there is perfect harmony and no discord.
