Testimony of Healing January 28, 2019 Issue

Protection from effects of accidents

Jennifer Quinn

I am so grateful for the testimonies of healing that appear in every issue of the Christian Science periodicals. I always read them, and find them tremendously helpful in affirming that Christian Science does heal—even the most serious challenges—and in giving me the courage to meet challenges of my own.

Here are a couple of examples from the past year. Several months ago, I had been heating something on the stove, when I absent-mindedly picked up the hot burner grate with my bare hand. I immediately dropped it, but I also knew that, since God is the only real cause, accidents have no power to cause injury. I was able to continue what I was doing with no pain or evidence of a burn. I had recently read a testimony of a similar incident in the Christian Science periodicals, and had marveled that the writer was able to address it so quickly and fearlessly. My experience showed that the same Truth is available to all—it only needs to be applied!

At another time I had been cleaning the ramp outside my poultry house, when I slipped and fell flat on my back, with impact on the back of my head and my lower back. I immediately declared out loud, “I am perfect. That never happened!” and then, “Harmony is the fact.” I knew that in God’s creation there could not be an accident, since everything is subject to God’s law of harmony. And I knew that since I’m created by God and entirely spiritual, as each of us is, I actually reflect God’s government and remain intact.
