A few months ago I felt nauseous and became ill. My fear was that I would faint, and although I was at home, there would be no one around to help me. I managed as best as I could and then painfully lay on my bed to pray. I knew that in this hour of need my remedy was in God.
I had learned from a young age in a Christian Science Sunday School that God made man in His image and likeness, and that God saw everything he had made and it was “very good” (see Genesis 1:26, 31). This statement about the spiritual truth of God and His creation is one I have come to rely on.
In First John 4:8, it is also written that “God is love,” and I have come to know God’s loving care through the years. In the Christian Science textbook, Mary Baker Eddy gives inspired insight into the nature of God as Love when she writes, “Divine Love always has met and always will meet every human need” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 494).
