Skin eruption cleared
Some years ago an ugly skin eruption appeared on my face and wouldn’t go away. I tried to keep my face clean and avoided touching it, as it appeared the condition was spreading. Because it seemed serious, an official at my school advised my parents and me that I should stay home.
While at home, I prayed each day over the next week. During that time I made progress in seeing that my true spiritual identity was never touched by evil of any kind. The major turning point came when I found this passage in the Bible: “If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him; if iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles. For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot” (Job 11:13–15).
I remember acknowledging that there was divine logic behind this passage. I started reasoning from the fact that because God is Truth, He is without error or spot. Because God is divine Love and is infinite, there is no room for anger, hate, or evil. Because God is Principle, there is no place for mistakes, nor could anything be out of alignment with God’s law of good. And because God is without spot, I must also be without any kind of spot, or error.
