Injured eye quickly healed
Healing doesn’t take time; it takes divine Truth, understood and trusted. We may sometimes be tempted to think an injury will take a long time to heal, but I’m grateful to be learning that we can expect quick healings on the basis of God, good, being the only cause.
There is biblical authority for the statement that God is Love (see I John 4:8). And the first chapter of Genesis states that God created man in His image and likeness, to be Godlike, and that everything He made is very good. In this view of creation, there is no sin, disease, or death; instead, God, divine Mind—in whom is no variableness (see James 1:17)—creates, maintains, and sustains His perfect universe, including man, for eternity. The truth is, since God—divine Life, Truth, and Love—never created sin, disease, or death, they are not actual conditions. And having never been created by God, the only creator, they can, in reality, have no effect, since they would need a creator behind them to animate them.
About three years ago, my husband and I experienced proof that this truth heals, and that it heals quickly. My husband was outside, pouring muriatic acid into our swimming pool to adjust the pH level. I have done the same in the past and have had it splash onto my clothes and immediately burn a hole in the fabric. This time the acid splashed into my husband’s eye, and he yelled and ran to the garden hose to rinse his eye. When I heard him yelling, I jumped up from my chair and found him in great distress, afraid of losing his sight in that eye. I immediately decided to stay calm and focused on what God knew, and this angel message came to me at once: “God never changed!” I said to my husband, “God never changed, so you can’t either.”
