Growth disappears
I want to express my gratitude for the healing of a strange growth on my chest last year.
I had help from a Christian Science practitioner and strove for a long time to fill my thought with Truth and recognize my true being as spiritual. However, every once in a while I would check the material evidence, even though the fear had subsided.
Finally I determined never to feel the area or look at it again. The Christian Science Bible Lesson was my constant companion during this time, enabling me to gain a better understanding of my spiritual nature as the likeness of God. A particularly helpful and healing passage from the Bible was Ecclesiastes 3:14: “I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it.” I knew that my perfection as God’s spiritual idea did not include a material growth of any kind.
