Past Trauma Can Be Healed

In my youth I had a fair number of issues with my mother, and my gratitude tonight is for how Christian Science and years of practitioner support not only healed me of all of those issues, but also made it so that I can now help others with similar issues. What a blessing we have in Christian Science as it is taught here, so that someone like me — who honestly once considered themselves so damaged beyond repair that for a time I felt suicide was the only answer — could instead have the opportunity to uncover just how much of a lie that false belief about myself was, and then to be completely healed of those old events and feelings, and be freed up for the higher mission that this church represents.

We know that the world would have us believe that a person’s past can only be dealt with through constant therapy or medicine, but never be truly and permanently healed. And yet through Christian Science I have been able to overcome so many of my former concerns and all these healings have allowed me to see and feel the truth of Mary Baker Eddy’s statement: “evil has no history.” (S&H, p. 538)

I am forever grateful for Christ Jesus’ perfect example, for all that Mary Baker Eddy did for mankind, and for the decades of selfless work that has gone on here in Plainfield. We are truly blessed that God has chosen to perpetuate and uplift Christian Science and this church so that all may find Truth and be free.
