What a joy it is to be able to share this testimony!

One day, almost three years ago, I discovered evidence of an internal growth. My first reaction was one of great fear, so I called a friend in another city who is a Christian Science practitioner. She shared many healing thoughts with me. I felt much comforted, and the fear lessened.

Afterward I continued studying and praying on my own, finding many wonderful passages in the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. When fear tried to distract me, I found it helpful to read out loud. I also remembered that the Bible says (I John 4:16, 18): "God is love" and "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear." I asked myself, Am I really loving God if I say that He is Love and yet believe that He would permit something bad to happen to me? How can I fear something that God never made and is not true about me?
