Burns healed

Martine Blackler

Several months ago, while working in the kitchen, I mishandled the kettle, and steam burned the whole inside of my arm, blistering it badly.

The pain was severe. My thoughts immediately began replaying what had happened, and I was tempted to view the pain as punishment for my carelessness and the inevitable result of this type of accident.

Knowing, however, that this mental state was not a path to healing, I earnestly endeavored to instead listen for God’s voice and be receptive to Christ, God’s true idea, which destroys the belief that anything unlike God, good, can be real. Only the Christ would speak the truth about my situation and enable me to affirm my true, spiritual perfection and identity as God’s creation, which were untouched by material circumstances.
