Poems

A single moment

From the December 1979 issue of The Christian Science Journal


O
mortal
has sense
told you that
suffering is real
and healing takes time?

Loved of God understand
that Love heals instantly!

Saul suffered blindness three days
They thought Lazarus dead four days
A woman had an issue of blood twelve years
Satan bound a daughter of Abraham eighteen years
The man at Bethesda had an infirmity thirty-eight years

Jesus said   Rise take up thy bed and walk
Jesus said   Woman thou art loosed from thine infirmity
Jesus comforting said   Daughter thy faith hath made thee whole
Jesus thanked God and cried with a loud voice   Lazarus come forth
The Christ sent obedient Ananias   and Saul received his sight forthwith

No diagnosis   no drugs   no surgery   no therapy   no convalescence

Beloved of God
put on the Christly garments
of self-knowledge humility and love
Know who you are and the source of your being
Reflect the Love that is divine and that heals
and you will heal instantly
and know well that
a year of suffering
or a month
or a day
is nought
zero
