Relationships ! It seemed we were always breaking up and getting back together. Finally, after seven years, my boyfriend and I decided to go our separate ways. I felt very depressed and so I turned wholeheartedly to God, searching for a deeper, clearer understanding of love.
In studying the Bible and Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, I found divine Love. I discovered that this Love is not temporary, but secure and invariable because it is another name for God. I realized that God always loves me and that I could express more of God's love in my human relationships. This enabled me to get my human will and personal attachment out of the way. I surrendered to the spiritual fact that I was always expressing Love and that I was always being loved by God. With that clearer sense of Love, the better human relationships followed. My boyfriend and I were able to solve our differences, and I am now so grateful to have a very harmonious, nurturing, loving marriage to this man.
Also, the study of Christian Science has brought freedom into my life. During high school and college, my compulsiveness with food had me locked up in a prison. It seemed I was always going on a diet and very concerned about my figure. After nine years of overeating and dieting, I began to wonder if I'd ever find release from this obsession with food and body.
