A Heavy Sense of the Past Healed

Recently I learned I needed to renew my driver’s license, and the new rules call for a bunch of identification documents, so while looking for my birth certificate I remembered that I had a weather-proof box in my garage that it may be in. When I checked, it was right on top, which was an excellent answer to prayer, but then I also saw there was a smaller box of photos that I did not recall having.

In my youth, for whatever reason, I had some seriously low self-esteem and a variety of issues which led me to near suicide and the only thing that stopped it was calling out to God for help. This quickly led me here to Plainfield, and to the wonderful opportunity to work with a practitioner here which eventually healed all my issues.

So when I went through that box of photos just the other day, and saw myself in my youth, and my dad and mom, and other family members, it showed me without any doubt that all the Christian Science healings I had were so profound that all I could see were pictures of happy children of God, and there was no lingering sense of feeling hurt or rage or embarrassment or whatever other feelings I carried for so long before coming here.

Now, I worked with a practitioner for twelve years, and that points to how many issues I had, I suppose, but it also points to certain proof that if you give Christian Science a fair shake, and really put in the effort, and take all the corrections and do all the work, you will be healed as completely as I was. What is offered in this church is most surely what Christ Jesus called the “pearl of great price” which can absolutely be obtained when you sell all you have, which is really just all the human history and all the human personality and all the sense of being separate from God that you came with.

I am so grateful for the many healings I received here, so grateful for finding these photos again and being able to clearly see that my past delusions about my own worth and family dynamics were merely lies and errors which the Christ was able to completely cast out. I am so thankful for Christian Science, this church, and those years of practitioner support.
