You Deserve to be Well





        Why do I say deserve?  Because you are God's loved child, made in His own likeness.  Furthermore, God never made bodily discords, and He has the power to remove them from your life. 

        The quickest, safest, and most potent remedy for any inharmonious physical condition is the Mind-science that Christ Jesus employed.  Our realization that God, good is All-in-all, and that whatever is unlike Him is therefore unreal and nonexistent, has healing power.

        Christian Science makes this knowledge available to any sincere seeker.  Its teachings explain and make practical the divine method of deliverance referred to in Jesus' words, "Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free."  The study of divine Science turns the sufferer from the mistaken belief that God is far-off and unavailing, and lifts his thought to see that God is ever at hand to set him free.  The sufferer then has no need of drugs.
       
        In her search for truth, Mary Baker Eddy, the Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, perceived that God is the source of all reality and being, and that whatever is contrary to His nature must be considered untrue and unreal, however tangible it may appear.  She writes in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, "It is well to be calm in sickness; to  be hopeful is still better, but to understand that sickness is not real and that Truth can destroy its seeming reality, is best of all, for this understanding is the universal and perfect remedy."

        The religion I practice reiterates with precision and reverence the Master's mighty works.  For this reason it cannot be valued too highly.  Through scientic prayer we heal from a purely metaphysical standpoint, basing our work on the allness of divine Mind, God, and the nothingness, the nonexistence, of matter.

        Since bodily discord does not exist as a fact but is only an illusion of material sense, one is healed as his misconceptions yield to the powerful and corrective Christ, Truth, to the recognition that God is perfect and man is His perfect image and reflection, now and forever.

        The action of Truth bringing light to one's consciousness destroys the darkness of fear and suffering and lifts thought to be behold the all-presence of spiritual harmony.  This corrected mental state is then objectified in one's experience as health and freedom.

        You do not have to be ill; it is your God-given right to be whole and free.
