Not having been raised to know Christian Science, I saw a dramatic contrast between what my life was like before and after learning of it. An increased understanding of God and of man's spiritual relation to Him, which has come through my study of this precious religion, has favorably influenced every facet of my life.
About six years ago a very small mole appeared on the underside of one arm. Thinking it would probably just fall away, I forgot about it. But then it began to bother me, and I discovered it was inflamed and had increased significantly in size. This time I resolved to pray very specifically about it, and did so over the next several days.
It came to me that I was checking the condition often and that this was hindering me. I resolved not only to stop looking at the mole, but also not to be impressed with its appearance. Each time it came to thought, I specifically dismissed the possibility that something discordant was a part of my true identity. I knew God didn't make anything unlike good, so it had no authority, foundation, or substance.
