Melissa Cochran, whose husband Kurt was killed in the Westminster terrorist attack, later said, “I don’t think I could heal my injuries or as a person if I had hate in my heart, and Kurt wouldn’t want that either, so there is no hate.” In Monday’s Daily Lift – Forgiving the unforgivable - Deborah Huebsch explains how she managed to achieve this in her own experience through her understanding of Christian Science. In her article in the July 2016 issue of The Christian Science Journal she explains in some detail the spiritual journey, or treatment, she needed to take to find freedom from a burning anger she had felt for years after experiencing abuse as a child.
The citations from the Bible and the Christian Science textbook on Wednesday will trace the three stages of spiritual treatment she took: recognising her need to forgive; seeing God’s man in place of an abuser; recognising that her own true selfhood remained untouched.
