"Let the redeemed of the Lord say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy" (Ps. 107:2).
For over a year before attending my first Christian Science lecture, I had been under the constant care of physicians for what was diagnosed as a serious heart condition. Much of this time I was bedridden. The medical profession offered little hope for my recovery, and the consensus was that if survival were possible I would be a semi-invalid the rest of my life.
In attending the lecture, I did not expect a physical healing, but I did hope for something that would enlighten me about God and my relationship to Him. The explanation of God as Love gave me something to hold on to. I had never before felt so close to God. I acquired a copy of the lecture and found great comfort and solace in reading it daily. My spiritual hunger was being satisfied.
