The blessings of listening to God
Originally appeared on spirituality.com
After the Second World War, when Europe was occupied by Allied troops, housing was scarce. After the breakup of my marriage I was living in a tiny apartment with my young son, mother, and sister. Although I did translation work, my income appeared to condemn me to stay in our cramped quarters.
Then I learned about Christian Science. A colleague was dying in the hospital from severe bullet wounds. The doctors held out no hope for his survival—yet in less than a week he was completely healed through Christian Science treatment. Witnessing this dramatic event set my life on a completely new course. My whole outlook underwent radical changes.
First and foremost, through my study of this Science, I discovered that with God, indeed all things are possible. I realized that the sense of limitation I had accepted as a matter of course didn’t have to be a permanent condition. I was gaining a Bible-based understanding of myself as the image and likeness of God. This change in thought lifted my expectations; my health and standard of living improved considerably.
