The yes of Christ

From the September 1984 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Does it always seem like "NO"?

No time
No money
No, you're not well enough
Not old enough
No, you're just too old

A steady, down-pulling, heart-wearying negative drone?

Just listen,
we'll listen together,
we can hear—instead of "NO"—"yes."

It's there deep inside
quietly waiting
waiting to be released, attended to, expected, welcomed.

I can do all things through Christ . . .
Nothing is impossible to God . . .
Whatsoever ye shall ask in my name . . .
Seek and ye shall find ....

It's really quite familiar, eternal, undeniable, unquenchable!

Hear it, feel it, well within the heart,
drowning out all negation with its uprising, onrushing,
joyful swell,
until
all contrary evidence denied,
Christ, Truth, affirms itself
spontaneously.

yes (hear it?)
Yes.

YES!
