A wonderful proof of God's ever-presence...

Lucia Thurman

A wonderful proof of God's ever-presence and all-power will ever be with me to remind me that testing times are proofs of God's love. When a Christian Scientist first spoke of his religion to me, I was not ready to accept it. Many years later, however, the words "Christian Science" came to me in an hour of need.

I had been ill for two weeks. The doctor informed me that I had a rapidly growing tumor and recommended that I have a major operation performed as soon as I was strong enough. Though I had never studied Christian Science, I knew that its followers rely on God alone as the only power, I was convinced that it was my only hope, and I turned to it calmly and confidently, leaving all to God. I lost all sense of fear as I turned to the Father in childlike trust and learned that, as Mrs. Eddy tells us in Science and Health (p. 454), "Love inspires, illumines, designates, and leads the way."
