Healed of infertility

Originally published in the May 2017 French edition of The Herald of Christian Science.

In February 2013, my regular obstetrician diagnosed premature menopause as well as a very serious illness that affected ovarian functions. I was only 23 years old. He told me that under such conditions, I would never be able to have children because this illness was considered incurable. As far as he was concerned, I was barren. That August, he confirmed the diagnosis after performing further tests. 

I decided to pray because only God could bring a solution to these problems. While the doctor was telling me there was no hope, I knew that in God there is always hope. God had already done a lot for me, my family, and my friends. God is always strong. He does not change. I knew He was going to meet my need and heal me. 

Christian Science teaches that God meets every human need. In the Bible, in the first chapter of Genesis, we read: “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them …. And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good” (verses 27, 28, 31). I understood that I was the perfect image and likeness of God. Therefore, I had all the needed capabilities that God had given me.
