A TOURIST, delighted with her first trip to Europe, remarked that she could hardly wait to return home so she could tell others about it. The pleasure of talking about the good things that happen is so great that not talking about them is hard. How much more eagerly and joyously should students of Christian Science look forward to the opportunity to share with others their glorious spiritual experiences!
Guided by wisdom and love, Mrs. Eddy provided opportunities for the expression of gratitude for healings in order that others might be blessed. In the Manual she writes (Art. VIII, Sect. 24): "Testimony in regard to the healing of the sick is highly important. More than a mere rehearsal of blessings, it scales the pinnacle of praise and illustrates the demonstration of Christ, 'who healeth all thy diseases'(Psalm 103:3)."
When we give a testimony, we can share what we have learned of the allness of Spirit and of the nothingness of matter. In our expression of gratitude, we are acknowledging the healing influence of divine Principle in human affairs. We are testifying to the manifestation of God's love for man, His image and likeness. We are glorifying Truth in action.
