Q I'd really like to know what it means to be spiritual.
A For me, being spiritual is a way of thinking—both about myself and about others. Instead of considering that people are subject to illness, I think of everyone as being made in God's likeness (see Gen. 1:26, 27). I believe with my whole heart that each person's real nature is good, loving, intelligent, and well—the way God made us. I acknowledge this moment by moment. I hold to this thought: God made us well and keeps us that way.
Viewing oneself as spiritual—as being cared for by God rather than as someone whose life is governed by heredity, diagnosis, diet, or exercise—has practical results. In my case, it's improved my health tremendously, and 40 years ago totally healed me of chronic ailments such as migraine headaches and multiple warts on my fingers.
