Over five years ago I was greatly hurt by a close friend's actions. For about three years after that I suffered in many ways, namely: much sickness and weakness, dizziness, severe headaches, and loss of weight. This later developed into what is termed heart trouble.
So, because I had been in Christian Science since birth and most of my troubles had been worked out by my mother, I decided I had better try to work out my own salvation. There were days of working with the truth and days of sadness, and the difficulty still lingered and I literally hobbled around on one foot. The years went by with little progress, as I had thought I should work it out myself.
Over two years ago I asked the aid of a practitioner. With much work on his part and my studying selected references, I began to progress. I learned that matter has no power; that man "is not made up of brain, blood, bones, and other material elements" (Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, p. 475). I learned that Love reaches into the darkest of corners and is the only healer of personal relations. I began to realize these statements and decided that I had to be more forgiving and loving. Testimonies in the bound volumes of the Journal and Sentinel helped me very much.
