Testimonies of Healing
Since I accepted Christian Science as true Christianity several years ago, it has been to me a school of advanced education in spiritual, intellectual, and therapeutic knowledge. In so far as I have abided by its laws I have been healed of sin, disease, and a mania for dissecting creeds, ever seeking religion as taught by Christ Jesus.
The testimonies of healing in the Christian Science periodicals have always been a great help to me. Sometimes it has been because a testimony described a healing similar to one for which I was working at the time; at other times, the description of the perseverance and faith that resulted in a healing has encouraged me to make greater efforts.
Christian Science was brought to us by a friend of one of my sisters, a friend whom we all cherished and loved. She had been healed through Christian Science.
Love was one of the first synonyms of God which I felt I understood. Several years ago I passed through what seemed to be a very bitter experience.
Words fail to express the love and gratitude that I feel in my heart for Christian Science. All I have and all I am I owe to God and Christian Science, which has healed me of many things—sensitiveness, sorrow, lack, and many other illusions.
I am sincerely grateful for the many blessings which have come to me. As a child I was brought up in Christian Science, and during the past few years I have truly reaped a harvest of demonstrations, both small and great.
With humility and joy I desire to join the many who are now testifying of the Christ, Truth, which heals mankind of mental, moral, and physical ailments. I desire to give my testimony of the healing of defective eyesight.
A few years ago, when I was a sufferer in mind and body, Christian Science came into my life like a refreshing and purifying wind. At the home of a good friend I saw The Herald of Christian Science (Scandinavian edition), which had been sent her from America.
Gratitude is the open door leading to greater joy, richer life, and increased receptivity. I began reading Christian Science literature for physical healing, and as I read and glimpsed the truth that God is Love, Life, and All-in-all, I realized that I needed much.
" Christian Science is always the most skilful surgeon," Mrs. Eddy has written on page 402 of "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures.
