Testimonies of Healing

I had an experience some time ago that gave me a much better understanding of my true selfhood as the image and likeness of God, Spirit, than I'd had before. For several years I'd had a small and apparently harmless cyst on a part of my body.

Where does one begin to give gratitude for six generations of Christian Science healings? Needless to say, there are too many to be enumerated here, but there are some that stand out as waymarks. As a child I was healed of so-called childhood diseases quickly and without complications.

My mother had told me that my very first healing occurred when I was a tiny baby. But I hadn't realized until hearing the story again from her recently that I actually owe my life to Christian Science.

I am so very grateful to be a student of Christian Science and to be learning more about my relationship to God and my substance as truly spiritual. I have been healed of many physical and moral ills, which include poor vision, bulimia, abscessed teeth, chronic migraine headaches, broken bones, alcoholism, menstrual pain, sprained joints, grief, and many more.

I was brought up in a family where we were encouraged to use what we were being taught in the home and in the Christian Science Sunday School to solve all of our problems. So it has always been natural for me to turn to God in prayer for guidance whenever I am confronting some difficulty.

During my childhood and teenage years I attended a Protestant Sunday School and church regularly. While I appreciated the Bible study and training I received there, my searching questions about God and man's existence were not answered satisfactorily.

A few years after I was married, several serious physical disorders developed. A rash that I'd had since birth (noted during pregnancy as eczema) intensified to a nearly unbearable condition requiring bandages.

When our children were young, I had a painful back condition. At times it was very uncomfortable to sit or straighten up.

I am led to put pen to paper because I want to actively express my gratitude for finding Christian Science. I hope that by writing my story I will help another who may be full of questions and feel uncertain about life.

When my daughter was ten months old, she developed eczema over her entire body. Three times she was admitted to a hospital, and she continued under medical care for many months but without any relief.
