Health gained. Lack overcome. God proved the source of good

Valeska Drexel

Like Paul, I too can say (Phil. 4:4), "Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice." Christian Science has indeed been to me the Comforter and has brought into my experience the joyous privilege of helping others to find this Comforter.

As a child I had the blessed opportunity of attending a Christian Science Sunday School. But latter, like the prodigal son, I too turned from my Father-Mother God and for a number of years drifted in the far country of mortal mind. Although I was sick and unhappy, it had not occurred to me to turn to Christian Science for help; nevertheless I was desious of having my daughter attend a Christian Science Sunday School. One Sunday morning when she was about two, I registered her in a branch church Sunday School. I had no intention of attending the church service, but a still, small voice said, You have nothing else to do while waiting for the child; why not attend the church service? I shall never forget the wonder of that moment. As I entered the church, I knew that at last I had come home again.

Through the application of the spiritual law of Christian Science I have found inspiration, health, harmony, usefulness, and "the peace of God, which passeth all understanding" (Phil. 4:7). I have had many physical healings, including those of ptomaine poisoning, headaches, insomnia, sunburned feet, low blood pressure, chronic fatigue, anemia, and colds, and an instantaneous healing of influenza. I am grateful to be learning that God is the source of all good. Mrs. Eddy says of man (Science and Health, p. 475), "He is the compound idea of God, including all right ideas." Therefore I am learning that man includes within his consciousness the perfect idea of supply, employment, home, love, and companionship and does not have to search for them without.
