Finding a friend—and healing—in God

Nothing in the world quite compares to the love, joy, and trust you feel when you're with a good friend. This person may be someone you've grown up with over the years or could even be a special teacher or relative. Whoever it is, the friendship you share sparkles like a diamond in your life, pure and enduring. Most important, you feel you can always count on this special one for support and encouragement, no matter what.

When I was in high school, my most trusted friend was God. I know that might sound strange, but it's true. I had lots of nice friends to hang around with, of course, but it was at this time in my life that I began to "companion" with God more, and not just think about Him only on Sundays when I went to church.

One particular book helped make God very real to me. It was Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. Before I left for school each day. I'd drop this book into my big, floppy purse with the rest of my school stuff. In between classes, I'd often read a page or two as I walked down the hall. The book had so much to say about the nature of God and His infinite goodness.
