Leg injury healed

Steve Hicks

In the spring of 2016, I participated in a strenuous activity I enjoy—racquetball. As I left the gym that day, I wasn’t moving well on one of my legs. I seemed to have an injury I’d heard others who play this sport talk about, and they’d said that it often requires surgery.

Fear assailed me. My job involves much traveling and pulling baggage through airports, so I needed two working legs to keep up. I did not have time to be immobile!

On the drive home, I prayed to calm my thought with spiritual truth. The first chapter in the Bible tells us God is the one creator. I had learned from my study of Christian Science that the true identity of each of us is the perfect, spiritual reflection of God, who is wholly good. Therefore, we include all the facets of God’s goodness, and cannot include anything unlike good. We can’t be made to suffer injury for expressing the God-derived qualities involved in being active, such as speed, strength, accuracy, grace, and joy.
