I saw myself differently

Once as I was reading all of Science and Health, I read this line in a new way: “Christ presents the indestructible man, whom Spirit creates, constitutes, and governs” (316:20–21). I thought of the word presents in its meaning of introduces. Therefore Christ, Truth, introduces me to my real, spiritual, perfect self. Then I saw myself differently. I started to become acquainted with me. As a result, I stopped smoking cigarettes and became much more dedicated and consistent in my study of Christian Science.
