Testimonies of Healing
Christian Science came into my life in July, 1969, when I took hold of a Christian Science Journal given to my wife by her co-employee. A perusal of that magazine sent me searching for the branch Church of Christ, Scientist, in Manila the next day with a burning curiosity to know more of this religion which stressed man as the image and reflection of God, hence harmonious, immortal, and perfect.
It is with much gratitude that I give testimony to God's omnipotent care for His children. I attended a Christian Science Sunday School as a child and, in young adulthood, church services, but I did not apply Christian Science to my daily life.
For many years my family and I have enjoyed the blessings of Christian Science, and it is with much gratitude that I write this testimony. Although my husband had attended a Christian Science Sunday School and I had attended the Sunday School of another denomination, at the time of our marriage we were not interested in going to either church regularly.
About nine years ago I began to have great discomfort internally. I kept very close to my study of Christian Science, and the peace, comfort, and strength of the Christ were ever with me.
"In him we live, and move, and have our being" ( Acts 17:28 ). These words of Paul's in the Bible were a source of comfort to my wife about two years ago when she was informed I had been critically injured in an automobile accident.
The most inspiring experience of my life was the period spent in taking Primary class instruction in Christian Science. As a teen-age girl I had been a student in the Christian Science Sunday School and had been given loving encouragement and help over the years from a dear friend, who was a Christian Science practitioner.
About twenty years ago, in a church of another denomination, I prayed to God to be shown if there was anything worthwhile for which to live. I was at the time in another country, suffering from a nervous breakdown.
For many years I suffered ill health, loneliness, and utter misery, and feared becoming incapable of earning a living. A nervous breakdown made me pray desperately to God for help.
My testimony appeared in the Christian Science Sentinel of August 26, 1944. Since then, so many blessings and healings have come to me.
When I first learned of Christian Science more than thirty years ago, I was a hopeless sufferer. My illness was diagnosed as neurosis of the heart, and I was given little hope for a complete recovery.
