How I learned about Christian Science
When I was a young teen, because of various interactions with medical treatment, I began to doubt that medical treatment was God’s way of maintaining our health. At the time I understood God to be all-powerful. I thought an all-powerful God would certainly provide a better way of caring for us. I hoped that eventually I would find out what God’s way was.
It wasn’t until about thirteen years later that I became acquainted with Christian Science. When I received a Christian Science Sentinel magazine. I was deeply impressed by what I found there. The Sentinel always includes testimonies of healings that have been accomplished without medical intervention but through effective systematic prayer. As I read the testimonies I quickly realized the spiritual system of healing described in the testimonies was what I had hoped I would eventually find.
I began to study Christian Science and loved what I was learning about the nature of God as Love and as the governing Principle of all life. It was wonderful to learn that we are God’s loved creation and we can turn to God at any time to experience the healing power of Love. Soon, through prayer as it is explained in Christian Science, I had my first physical healing. I was healed of an allergy that had been medically diagnosed and I had suffered from since a young age. To me, this healing verified that I had found God’s way of caring for us. Christian Science has continued to be my first and only resort for healing since that time.
