Testimony of Healing February 28, 1983 Issue

[Original in German]

Through prayer I was led to Christian Science

MARIANNE BUCHNER

Through prayer I was led to Christian Science. The first Wednesday testimony meeting I attended in a branch Church of Christ, Scientist, was decisive for me. What I heard about God and man there was new to me and made me happy. And the deep faith expressed in the testimonies moved me profoundly. Never before had I believed in healing through spiritual means. But here in the harmonious atmosphere of this particular church, I had no further doubt about it.

After that I attended every Sunday service and Wednesday testimony meeting. My husband soon took a liking to this logical explanation of Christ Jesus' teachings and began accompanying me to church. Our growing understanding of God's ever-present love and of God as Life uplifted us greatly.

We purchased a copy of the textbook, Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy, and began to study the Bible Lessons found in the Christian Science Quarterly. Until then, I had suffered much from sickness and was supposed to undergo a gallbladder operation because I frequently had severe, painful colic attacks. But one Wednesday evening I heard a testimony given by a woman who had suffered greatly from the same illness. She said that she was healed when she clearly recognized her unity with God. This testimony inspired me to ponder my unity with God. In the course of doing this I became so uplifted and happy that I forgot about the illness, and I completely ignored the dietary prescription. Soon I knew that God had healed me.
