Testimonies of Healing

Out of my own experience I should like to say to anyone who is struggling with a long-delayed healing, "Be of good cheer! and increase your confidence, for Christian Science heals, and it always will heal. " The difficulty is not with Christian Science, for that is God's perfect law.

It is with a heart full of gratitude to God, our Father-Mother; to Christ Jesus, the Way-shower; and to our dear Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, that I add my testimony to the thousands that are being given the world over.

I sincerely hope that the testimony of my first healing will help some seeker after health and happiness, as other testimonies have helped me when I was in need of a better understanding of God.

In the Manual of The Mother Church ( Art. VIII, Sect.

We learn in Christian Science that gratitude must become a living influence in our daily lives. The outward expression of our appreciation of this influence is part of our reflection of Spirit; and we all can offer a testimony of the healing power of divine Science through our periodicals and our Wednesday evening meetings.

The first week that I became a student of Christian Science I was permanently healed of using drugs of any kind. During the years that have followed, this truth has been my only physician, and I have enjoyed excellent health.

With a longing for freedom from fear and unhappiness, I began the study and application of Christian Science about eighteen years ago. I am grateful to say that this Science has proved to be the Comforter, bringing more satisfaction and happiness than I had thought possible.
