Nearly ten years ago I took up the study of Christian Science for a physical difficulty. Having believed this illness to be an inheritance, I naturally felt that all the doctors said about it was true. One of the leading surgeons of this city said, "You will never be a well woman without an operation." Such fear loomed up in my consciousness that in despair I asked help of a Christian Science practitioner, who lovingly gave it; and in a very short time I was completely healed. This was only the beginning of the unfoldment of this beautiful truth. Later I was taken with severe nervousness. This healing was long delayed; but, thanks be to God and the loving practitioner, I was finally healed. During that time I was made to see that I had to awaken to a larger knowledge of God and my relationship to Him. Minor difficulties were also overcome during that time: chronic constipation and broken arches in both feet were healed, and I laid aside glasses that I had worn for years. Since then I have been called upon in many ways to test my understanding of this truth by applying it to many phases of error. In the passing on of loved ones I have been able to understand in a measure that man does live in divine Mind alone.
The healing that stands out more than all others to me is that of soreness of the mouth that had lasted nearly four years. There were times when the condition was very alarming, but I have been completely healed of it. This to me was the greatest of all my healings, for it taught me to love. This I did not want to do, except in the case of those whom I termed near and dear. Christians Science has taught me to love all mankind. It has taught me to look for good in my brotherman, to be less critical, to be unselfish where I used to be all for self; and, above all, there is a constant desire to serve all to whom I may be of service. I have come to realize that in doing good to others I am serving God. A larger amount of gratitude to God is awakening in consciousness each day, for I am realizing that only as I am grateful for the good received shall I be fitted to receive more.
Daily I am thanking God for our Master, Christ Jesus; for our revered Leader, Mrs. Eddy; for the authorized Christian Science literature; for the lecturers; and for the loving, patient practitioners who are so willing to lend a helping hand to those who are struggling on this our journey from sense to Soul. I am grateful for membership in The Mother Church; also in a branch church.
