Christian Science teaches that God constantly guides and governs man, His spiritual offspring. My life is filled with evidence that this is true, and I am deeply grateful. I have never failed to find an answer to my problems when I have turned to divine Truth.
I was told in the Christian Science Sunday School, and also while I was having class instruction, that the truths I was learning would surely come to me when I needed them. At one time I experienced so constant a pain that I felt I could not endure it much longer. During the moments when I could think clearly, I would review what is true of man; yet the pain would return worse than ever.
Then at a point when I was tempted to give up completely, the substance of the following statement came to me (Ezek. 18: 32): "I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord God: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye." My desire was to glorify God. I saw that to cease my fight to retain consciousness would be to give up and to accept death as real. Therefore I must not accept in any degree the suggestion that God is not Life, completely sustaining His idea, man.
