The dawn of true knowing

From the January 2017 issue of The Christian Science Journal


The dawn of true knowing
© andré leopold/monument/getty images

The dawn—how glorious!
The Christ is here.
The night has departed.
My thought is awakened—
   nothing can hold back God’s glory.
Any darkness—
   a dream from the night—is passed.

My true being, God’s idea forever
   embraced in Mind.
I can only reflect
   the consciousness of Soul.
That is the truth about me.
That is my spiritual heritage.
That is my rock.

I can only know
   what God knows about me.
I am pure, whole, perfect, free—
   God’s complete reflection.
I am in God’s harmonious plan—
   provided for and guided.
I am embraced by Love—
   protected and comforted.

I can only know
   what God knows about me.
