"Why am I here?"

Betty G. Hendriksen

"Why am I here?" "What is the point of existence?" "What is God?" At a time when I was searching for answers to these questions a dear friend introduced me to Christian Science. Since then this wonderful religion has proved adequate to answer any question and to solve every problem when I have properly applied it. Shortly after beginning the daily study of the Lesson-Sermon, given in the Quarterly, I was healed of defective eyesight. I had been told I would never be able to dispense with glasses, nor would I be able to drive a car. Both these predictions were proved incorrect when a complete healing took place without any specific prayerful work being done about the condition.

I have experienced happy, harmonious childbirth on seven occasions without the use of any drugs or other medication, and the children have enjoyed abundant health, confidence in good, and protection. Burns, poisoned fingers, coughs, colds, and so-called children's diseases have quickly yielded either with the help of a practitioner or through our own understanding of the present perfection of God's creation.

When our eldest child was a five-year-old, she came home from school one day with the symptoms of measles. She was crying when I took her in my arms, and she had a very high temperature. I spoke to her of God's love, which is always with us even though a lie called measles would try to make itself real to us.
