O, when we see God's mercy
Widespread in every place
And know how flows the fountain
Of His unbounded grace,
Can we withhold a tribute,
Forbear a psalm to raise,
Or leave unsung one blessing,
In this our hymn of praise?
(Christian Science Hymnal,
No. 249)
Why I have waited so long to express my gratitude in a written testimony, I do not know; for I have so much to be grateful for because of Christian Science.
After a dedicated, lifelong Christian Scientist (who later became my husband) introduced me to this religion, I was convinced of its validity through a growing understanding of God as good. Though raised in a Christian home, I had never understood God as pure good and so had never recognized man's innate goodness as God's expression.
