Testimonies of Healing
Sincerely, and in deep gratitude to God and to our Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, I am sending this testimony, hoping it may benefit others. I came into Christian Science seeking a God that would not destroy, and a heaven near at hand, filled with joy to-day.
Christian Science has met my every need for nearly thirteen years, and it is with a heart full of love and gratitude that I offer this testimony. The healings we have had in our home have been many, among them being those of influenza, measles, whooping cough, chicken pox, bladder disorder, and facial paralysis.
For some time I have felt that I should add my testimony to the many that are being offered as witness to the efficacy of Christian Science as a healer of sin, disease, and discord of all kinds. I finally awoke to the realization that I was apparently withholding my expression of gratitude until a more complete demonstration over error was made.
May my testimony bring to all who are weary and heavy-laden a glimpse of light, showing that all things are possible with God, if we cling faithfully and steadfastly to Him. Even before I knew of Christian Science, He often led me, after fervent prayer, out of mental and physical distress.
The opportunity of expressing my sincere gratitude to God, our dear heavenly Father, protector, and guide, is indeed a cause for joy. One day, while I was walking through a store, my attention was attracted to a certain display.
In loving appreciation of Christian Science and of the unselfish and inspired life of our beloved Leader, Mary Baker Eddy, I wish to express my gratitude. I have had so many reasons to be grateful for Christian Science that it is difficult to single out any one experience.
I wish to submit an account ofa healing which I experienced. One morning I was awakened withdistressing symptoms of nausea and indigestion.
My investigation of Christian Science began about eighteen years ago at a time when in my youthful zest for knowledge and experience I was inquiring into every phase of what I then would have termed "life. " I was attracted to it by witnessing a remarkable healing in a neighbor's family and the loving application of this teaching in their daily lives.
Gratitude for all the good that Christian Science has brought me prompts me to add my testimony to the many which are forthcoming from grateful hearts all over the world. I have had many healings in Christian Science, but will give account of those which to human sense seem the most remarkable, in the hope of giving someone else courage.
Christian Science has given me such a happy, joyous outlook on life that I should like to express my deep gratitude for its teachings. It has given me an understanding of how to turn to God in every difficulty, and has brought the knowledge of His ever protecting care as something I can entirely depend upon.
