"ONLY BELIEVE"

Mark 5:36

From the January 1971 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Is it such a little thing,
or so hard,
to trust God's love?
Can I forget His goodness
inflooding to the center,
outflowing to the rim
and far beyond my known circumference?

Such a little thing—
to believe.
Can it really move this mountain?
Can it lay this ghost?
Or must I dig its grave
with pick and shovel,
forgetting the grace of God.

Is it such a little thing,
or so hard,
to be?
"In the beginning was the Word. . . ."

A tender Word gave you being,
expressed eternally
in your believing.

It is no little thing,
nor hard,
to be.
