Faith provides that mental space where we lose the caterpillar views of ourselves as we behold the butterfly we’ve always been—as we behold the radiant truth of our unchanging spiritual identity.
When we stop judging life based on the view through the lens of matter and instead judge righteously—spiritually—thought rises above the clouds of fear and brings the ever-present goodness and harmony of God to light, revealing our continuous health and wholeness.
There was a time in my twenties when I took a journey from home—and from my marriage. I was lured away in search of something “better.” But when I got there, I quickly learned that I’d been duped.
Realizing these truths left me serene, calm, and happy. Certain that I was taken care of by God, I forgot all about the problem. Two days later, the rash was gone and my skin perfect once again.
Through prayer based on the teachings of Christian Science, my own thought was lifted to touch the hem of Christ’s garment—to the perception of life as spiritual and my identity as whole and free of sickness.
