Geoffrey G. Johnson with contributions from Glenys I. Johnson

When first Christian Science was presented to me, I had suffered from hereditary bronchial asthma for as long as I could remember. I had suffered from acute nasal catarrh, headaches, backaches, and a severe internal difficulty aggravated by the attacks of asthma. Gradually these diseases have been eliminated through my constantly turning away from matter, or the body, to Spirit, God, the source of all good.

For the benefit of those whose struggle may seem long, I say, "Take heart, for divine Love can never be conscious of discord, because in reality we reflect the one infinite, divine Mind." In my own case, I not only had to stop looking back on a sickly past, but had to endeavor to realize that "now are we the sons of God" (I John 3:2). With these every vestige of a pigeon breast and abnormal shoulders gave way to normality.

As my understanding of God and of man's relationship to Him has unfolded through the years and as I have gained the spiritual sense of home, a happy marriage, employment, supply, and God-given dominion are continually being experienced.
