Mrs. Eddy says in the Manual of The Mother Church (Art. VIII, Sect.24), "Testimony in regard to the healing of the sick is highly important." I find that this applies to mental as well as physical healings, which have been so numerous in my experience that it is impossible to mention them all. The overcoming of sickness and of the effects of falls and sprains, and protection from accidents, show a watchful Father's loving care.
My first healing came to me when I had forgotten to take the medicine which it was said must be used every day or I should suffer great discomfort. I suddenly resolved to leave it all to God, with a firm conviction that there was nothing He could not do, and that He did not need mortal help. After three days, during which I held to the promise found in Isaiah 30:15, relief came and all medicines were discarded forever. In those three days I found a quiet peace which I had never known before, and which has been with me ever since. This seemed most wonderful to me, as I knew almost nothing of Christian Science.
The next proof of God's everpresent, all-powerful love came after a heavy weight had been dropped on my foot with great force. I at once declared the truth, but on account of an unreasonable resentment, which was not at first understood, the foot became badly swollen and painful; but with resentment destroyed, the healing came quickly. Sorrow at the passing away of a loved one was healed, fear for the future overcome, and supply for all present needs demonstrated day by day. I have not felt the so-called depression, thanks to the knowledge of my Father's ever-present unlimited supply.
