Rheumatism healed, mobility restored

I have experienced the healing power of divine Love through reading Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy. I discovered the book when I was attending university in Kinshasa, in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It was sold right there on campus, and its title caught my attention. I found the word health particularly interesting since I had been in poor health since childhood. 

However, influenced by some friends who had warned me against the content of the book, I hesitated for some time before buying a copy, and then it stayed on my bookshelf unread for about eight months. 

In 2001, I became very ill and was taken to a hospital, where the doctors diagnosed me as having a severe and chronic form of rheumatism, which they said was incurable. I could no longer walk, and I was breathing with great difficulty. I went home waiting to die. I remained confined to my room, feeling abandoned. My parents lived in a village far away from Kinshasa, and I felt like everyone had forgotten me.
