The acknowledgment of my relationship to God, and the desire and willingness to exercise the fidelity and faithfulness inherent in this relationship, proved to be effective.
I reasoned that I could lift myself above the impression of having been injured and in peril by realizing my unchanged spiritual nature and letting go of the material images and sensations associated with the experience.
The fact that man (the true identity of each of us) is made in the image and likeness of God lifted my thought above body, bones, and material causes to an understanding of my spiritual identity as God’s expression. The profound truth of that statement was more captivating and attention-getting than the elbow pain.
