‘How can I have a healing?’

Maybe you know the feeling. You’re sitting in Sunday School, or at camp, or at a Wednesday evening testimony meeting, and one of your peers shares a healing. Something balls up inside you. I’ve never had a healing like that, you think.

In talking with teens around the U.S. about sharing their experiences on TeenConnect, as well as in the print Christian Science Sentinel and The Christian Science Journal, I’ve encountered this comment more than you might think. Or maybe this doesn’t come as a surprise, because as I said, you know the feeling you get when someone shares a spectacular insight or experience.

It’s gotten me thinking about a couple of important questions. First: What does a healing look like? And second: How can each of us experience healing?
