“…what was lacking was love for myself”

This is a healing about a wart on my toe, and a healing that seemed to take a long time.  It seemed to be a fixed fact. I prayed about it specifically in many different ways. Sometimes it was painful and sometimes barely noticeable, for seventeen years.  Then, last fall, I left a toxic relationship; I stood up for myself. In a couple of weeks, the wart dissolved, and the toe smoothed over. With regard to the relationship, I had been praying and working for several years to “know thyself” as Mrs. Eddy directs us.  Often, we are told we must demonstrate in the relationship, but it became clear that what was lacking was love for myself, and that I needed to stand firm and move on from it. This healing of the toe seemed to confirm the rightness of the decision, and there has been much harmony and blessings since then. 

 I am so grateful for this healing and the insight it gives to the purely mental nature of disease.  It seems like a small healing, but it also seemed like a waymark, letting me know I’m on the right path.
