Testimonies of Healing

Christian Science was brought to my attention three times before I accepted it. A lovely little girl invited me to visit her Sunday School when I was a youngster.

Many years ago I became interested in spiritual healing. I read scores of books on the subject.

Just as a Psalm says ( 40:10 ), "I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation. " I have spoken of it constantly in the five years that I have been studying Christian Science, and I have often spoken of it to the friends in the church at Wednesday testimony meetings.

Twenty-two years ago in the winter my left shoulder became very painful. Moving this arm grew more and more difficult, and it ached even when I didn't move it.

Christian Science, in its very simplest, sweetest terms, was the power which rooted out of me years of earthbound conviction that lack, failure, and frustration were a way of life. I began to study Christian Science and attend Sunday School and church services shortly after I graduated from high school.

My mother accepted Christian Science when I was very young. Consequently, relying on God for healing through spiritually enlightened prayer has always been entirely natural to me.

In the Bible we read ( Rom. 8:28 ), "All things work together for good to them that love God," and this was proved to me in a big way.

I would like to share a few instances when the knowledge of God's ever-presence has sustained our family. There have been physical challenges.

During the thirty years that I have studied Christian Science my life has greatly changed. The blessings of God have multiplied as I have discovered my true identity as a child of God.

I did not go looking for Christian Science. It found me.
