Disease Will Diminish Until It Finally Disappears

It’s wonderful to know that, in Truth, there are no chronic diseases or incurable diseases. Christian Science heals everything.

When I first came back to this church, after I had been away for a while, I had many chronic problems that just went on and on. They were physical, emotional, depression, as well as other things, and I began working with a really wonderful practitioner in this church.

The practitioner gave me many things to work with. One was to make sure that I was expecting healing. Sometimes you get to where you’re not even expecting to be healed.

Another thing that she gave me was a statement from Science and Health (page 248): “Let unselfishness, goodness, mercy, justice, health, holiness, love — the kingdom of heaven — reign within us, and sin, disease, and death will diminish until they finally disappear.”

This is how many healings occur. I’ve always loved that statement. It was a statement we were encouraged to teach our children to say as a nightly prayer. I was told, instead of focusing on my problems that were going on and on, to focus on these qualities. Unselfishness, goodness, mercy, justice, health, holiness, love, the kingdom of heaven. How much was I expressing those qualities? I needed to focus on that! And truly, as I did that, all these so-called chronic problems that had plagued me for a long time, one by one, did diminish, until they finally disappeared. It was a remarkable healing, and one that I’m so very grateful for. It’s the healing power of Christ, and it is available to everyone!
