Rely on Christ, It Has No Law Against Health

Christian Science teaches that God has all power. How wonderful, how beautiful!

One evening I started feeling very warm. A lot had been going on, and by nighttime I felt very hot. A relative even commented on it. But I remember just lying down and turning unreservedly to God, to the Christ, which Science and Health tells us is “The divine manifestation of God, which comes to the flesh to destroy incarnate error.” (Science and Health, page 583)

All I was thinking was the truth that I have learned since coming to this church and since being introduced to Science, the truth about my inseparability from God. God that made me in His image and likeness, made all of us in His image and likeness. All that was going through my thoughts were these thoughts — the truth I have learned, the simple truth.

I fell asleep and when I awoke I was feeling a whole lot better. I was able to do that day what was mine to do. The point of turning to the Christ is very important. Even when we are led to call someone for help, we call on the Truth, the Christ, not person ever. It is the Truth that heals, and what they share with us is really the Christ, the Truth which we rely on. And in our being one with that Truth, God, the changes go on in our thinking, which makes the healing take place. I am so grateful for this because it really shows us that all power belongs to God. Nothing is above God, so whatever we’re going through, if we have made the Truth our own, we need not be afraid. Trust in God.

We look at the stories in the Bible of what has gone on, and in our own life, the truth that we have relied on. If those have become so natural to us, they naturally come to our thinking when we need them. I am grateful to God for Christ Jesus and how he healed, and Mary Baker Eddy and how she taught us all to heal, and also to bless others.
