MY FIRST HEALING

Integrity is the first step to true greatness. 

Men love to praise,

but are slow to practice it.

--Charles Simmons--

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,
and cometh down from the Father of lights,
with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.


--The Bible, James 1:17--






LOOKING BACK ON THE IMPACT of my first healing in Christian Science—an instantaneous and permanent release from migraine headaches—I’m struck by how this Science helped prepare me to put down fear and trust God completely even in the midst of uncertainties.  I saw that right where doubts and difficulties appear, then and there God’s love strengthens us.  The teachings of Christian Science were enabling me to take hold of a spiritual reality—the infinite harmony of God’s creation—as the only truth, calling in question any discordant evidence to the contrary.  I realized that spiritual endeavor, then, doesn’t conclude when a healing occurs, but continues to guide us to new spiritual discoveries and possibilities.

Is unworthy of Her Notice.”

as you travel the path of Self-awareness.

“In your patience possess ye your souls.” 

-- The Bible, Luke 21:19—

In your patience possess ye your peace.  For me patience does not just mean ”waiting,” it’s more a watch of the transforming and regenerating activities of Truth and Love in action – and thus observing and recognizing the benefits thereof, bestows an inner peace in our lives.  --Eva-Maria--




The culture of the mind
must be subservient
to the heart.  --Gandhi--
