NO MORE NEED FOR GLASSES

HOWARD CORNETT

When I was a teen, I got glasses for distance vision.

While I was attending college away from home, I began to study Christian Science on my own after my girlfriend (now my wife) introduced it to me. It just seemed to make sense and be very much in line with where I was already heading in my search for spiritual answers. I'd always had a strong sense that God was loving and caring for me on a regular basis. And I'd prayed for myself on occasion, experiencing healings before ever finding out that there was actually a Science involved in prayer.

In my sophomore year, after I'd been sincerely studying Christian Science for almost a year, I decided that wearing glasses was something that I needed to be healed of. Putting up with a visual impairment seemed incompatible with the spiritual ideas I was learning — that I was wholly spiritual, created in God's image and likeness. If God created me perfect, why would a part of me have a deficiency or impairment? So I decided to pray for myself.
