It all started with my right thumb at irregular intervals. Mornings it could be so stiff that I had to do some massage to it and at least all could be well. The first few days I wasn’t so concerned as I thought it will just pass away.
Now when it turned out to be weeks, months and spreading to my whole hand , making me at times wake up at odd hours at night, made me take time to break through this mesmerism by ejecting it. I knew this lie is an effect, not a cause. I whole heartedly clung to the fact that this was a lie and needed to be destroyed for me to be free. I rejected it, reversed it, and replaced it with truth of seeing my wholeness of my hand.
Any moment when this numbness struck, deep in me I could see Mind present and operating. David the psalmist said “Mine eyes are ever toward with the Lord, for he shall pluck my feet out of the net,”(ps:25:15). I felt the same thing, My nerves, my hand are God’s. I had conviction that there is no failure in Mind and all this will be behind me.
As I was doing my preparation of our walking with the apostles I had caught a glimpse especially on Paul. The fire burning within him of spreading the gospel – indeed was so great that not even a tint of doubt or fear was in him. He told Timothy “For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love and of a sound mind.(2Tim:1:7).
Therefore I felt the same, not to respond to this challenge with fear but spiritual power. And this has earned me mightily a great step of progress. A day may pass without any itching or numbness. I thank God for Christian Science that enables me to retain this position. I know time is not a healer, but thought turned to God is.
