Growth on arm gone
A few years back I noticed an ugly growth on the side of my arm. As frightened as I felt, I was also learning about God through my study of Christian Science. I prayed from the standpoint that God is All—that the universe, including me, is the ongoing perfect expression of the good that is God, our Father. When I accepted this as God’s gift, the fear lessened.
I realized that if something wasn’t good, it couldn’t be from the Father, and so it wasn’t real. If it wasn’t real, then I didn’t need to keep watching it.
I stopped believing in the reality of something that was unlike God and started to believe God’s promise that all that He made is very good (see Genesis 1:31). God did not say that He saw everything He had made and most was good. No. Every thing He made was very good! I could trust this.
