Healing of chronic back problem

Rex Perschnick

Several years ago I came across an article about a man who, despite being seriously ill, selflessly undertook to help others, and in doing so, he himself found healing. As I recall it, his whole experience seemed to be evidence of the healing power of unselfed love—and of the truth of this statement by Mary Baker Eddy in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures: “Christianity is the basis of true healing. Whatever holds human thought in line with unselfed love, receives directly the divine power” (p. 192).

A few months later, my dad called me after a snowstorm to tell me that several trees had come down with the heavy snow. Some of them were lying on the roof of his garage, while others were across the access road to his home, preventing him from getting out or getting help.

At the time I had for several years been having great difficulty with my back. I was unable to straighten up when I walked or do any heavy lifting without pain. It was then that I thought again about the healing power of unselfed love.
