Testimonies of Healing

I am profoundly grateful for my introduction...

From the July 1975 issue of The Christian Science Journal


I am profoundly grateful for my introduction to Christian Science. When I think of the past, I appreciate the realization that even through severe testing times my Father-Mother God has always been right there with me.

In my upbringing I was trained to listen to and obey my elders, and to show little judgment or thinking of my own. My father died a year after World War II ended. The serious situation of my family problems caused me to be alone in the world.

I am thankful to God that through my deep desire to improve myself, and to overcome the difficulties of being alone, I was guided to Christian Science. Through this religion I learned the true meaning of God and of man's perfect relationship to Him. Although I was at first astonished at its teachings, I was happy to find a Christian religion which taught the true brotherhood of man and revealed that in reality man is not a sinner but a joyous and blessed expression of God, Love. Christ Jesus said (John 5:19): "The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise." I was able to withdraw my membership from my former church and to join a branch Church of Christ, Scientist.
