"I love Thy way of freedom,...

Patricia M. Francis

"I love Thy way of freedom, Lord." These words from Hymn No. 136 in the Christian Science Hymnal have often lifted me above a sense of bondage to material beliefs. I have received many wonderful healings in Christian Science. For these, I shall never cease to be grateful. The need for wearing glasses has been overcome. Partial deafness was healed when I realized that what was necessary was more spiritual understanding. This realization followed a contemplation of Mrs. Eddy's definition of "ears" on page 585 of the textbook, Science and Health.

One healing which has taught me a valuable lesson was that of the overcoming of frequent hemorrhages, which were accompanied by a fear of passing on. I had to cast out of my consciousness such false thoughts as fear, discouragement, and unhappiness, replacing them with true thoughts of expectancy, joy, and love. Moreover, I had to trust God from day to day and not outline my own future from a material standpoint.

Late one night I was full of alarm, for I thought the end was near. I was unable to get in touch with a practitioner to quiet my fears. A loved one, seeing my need, opened Science and Health to a passage concerning the Christ. As I read it I realized that I needed nothing but the Christ, Truth, and that God was ever present with me; so who or what could possibly be against me? That was enough; peace and harmony were restored to me. Words cannot express my gratitude for this and other experiences of the healing power of the Christ.
