Testimonies of Healing

[Original in German]

With a humble heart I want to express...

From the June 1976 issue of The Christian Science Journal


With a humble heart I want to express my gratitude for Christian Science, this great religion that makes the allness and omnipotence of God so real to us and makes divine Love comprehensible to humanity.

Christian Science came into my life in 1936, and I had the readiness to accept it. I had believed in a God but did not know that He is absolute good, and that right now we all "live, and move, and have our being" (Acts 17:28) in Him. Such a joy took hold of me that I would have loved to shout to every passerby on the street: "Take up Christian Science!" I recognized that I first had to live and prove it.

I regularly attended the Church of Christ, Scientist, always with the thought, "Father, what do You have to tell me today?" I listened with close attention to the words from the Bible, read every Sunday (I John 3:2, 3): "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure." These last words, especially, "purifieth himself, even as he is pure," healed my body of an unnatural secretion, a condition that had troubled me for some time.
