Some time ago, all I had hoped for or thought I wanted was washed away. I was suffering from a complete mental and physical breakdown. This trouble held on for three or four months; and my working with a Christian Science practitioner seemed to bring little light or comfort.
One night, in a very dark moment, I even let in the thought that maybe God had forgotten me or no longer healed. As Mrs. Eddy writes in Science and Health, the textbook of Christian Science (p. 238), "To fall away from Truth in times of persecution, shows that we never understood Truth." Then I thought, Well, at least Truth has healed me on many occasions, and I will try once more. It was then I heard an angel message saying, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased" (Matthew 3:17). I started to argue: That was said of Jesus nearly two thousand years ago; I am not a son but a daughter; how could God be pleased with me? However, the healing message kept coming, and as I listened the light of Truth was unfolded as follows: The real man is always perfect, always a complete idea. In this reflection of true sonship the Father is well pleased.
This may seem a simple thing to some, but Truth freed my thought, and I was healed.
