In hopes of encouraging someone who may be searching for comfort and healing, I share the following testimony as proof that divine Love does heal difficulties of all sorts completely and permanently.
Seven or eight years ago I was a young adult in great need of healing. Most of my family, including my parents, had passed on. This had left me with a deep sense of loss, isolation, and homelessness. Unable to see any reason for living without a family, I contemplated suicide. In this condition I was declared disabled so that I would be eligible for disability benefits. At the same time I was subjected to heavy medication, which numbed my grief but did nothing to heal it. Following the period of mental turmoil, I became physically ill. There were symptoms of jaundice and evidence of internal bleeding, as well as severe reactions to numerous foods. Unable to work, I found myself evicted from my apartment. I had no money, no place to live, and no one to turn to for help.
Several years before, I had attended a Christian Science Sunday School. Although ensuing family difficulties had drawn me away, the seed of Science had been planted. Now it awaited the harvest. Frightened and ill, I turned to God in prayer as best I could. I had been proudly and stubbornly striving to make it on my own. Now, as my health deteriorated, I thought all I wanted was to make peace with God before I passed on.
