FREED FROM BREATHING DIFFICULTY

DITTE SETTERHOLM

Through much study of the Scriptures and the writings of Mary Baker Eddy, my desire has been to put into practice what I've learned about God—that He is All and we are made in His likeness. One passage from Science and Health that is especially meaningful to me gives this definition of God: "The great I am; the all-knowing, all-seeing, all-acting, all-wise, all-loving, and eternal; Principle; Mind;Soul; Spirit; Life; Truth; Love; all substance; intelligence" (p. 587). As I go about my day, I strive to express the divine qualities of compassion, gentleness, purity, integrity, kindness, and also to identify others in the light of their spiritual individuality.

This study and practice of Christian Science has resulted in many physical healings, as well as the resolution of relationship difficulties, and guidance in finding the right home.

A healing I'm particularly grateful for occurred about a year ago. One morning I woke up unable to breathe without severe pain. I knew I would find my remedy through prayer. I called a Christian Science practitioner for help in gaining a clearer understanding of my present wholeness as God's child. Together, we prayed by considering the spiritual facts of life—that because man and woman are created and maintained by God alone, every movement is an expression of Him; that the allness of God means the allness of good, since God is entirely good and perfect.
