Demonstrating completeness

Written for the Sentinel

After twenty-three years of marriage and the rearing of three fine children, my husband filed for divorce and moved out of our home. Although the next year and a half was a struggle, above all it was a time of significant spiritual growth.

I was grateful that I was able to see the situation as an opportunity to prove the truths I'd learned in Christian Science rather than as a problem. I was tempted, of course, to give in to feelings of self-pity and bitterness, and it required much prayer and some strenuous self-discipline to overcome them.

But soon I discovered something wonderful. I was becoming spiritually exhilarated! I was studying and applying the truth and growing, and I could feel the results—feel the joy of divine discovery! This didn't happen overnight; in fact, it took many months. But the glimpses of truth were so significant and were having such an impact on my life that I began to cherish the whole experience of discovering my true identity.
