Love! Simply a word?

From the June 1985 issue of The Christian Science Journal


It sounds so simple—love.
Is it just a word offered in compassion?
No! Powered with understanding,
tendered with faith,
it reaches the hungering heart.
It lifts the veil of mourning,
turns fear into hope
and sorrow into rejoicing.

A word so spoken
is God's direction
to us, His children,
to express the Christ
in our every action.

We thank our heavenly Father
for the opportunity
to speak His Word — so simply. Love!
