Poem

Show me

“Please just fix this pain,
or fear, or discord,” 
is, admittedly, how prayer 
might start sometimes.

But then angels arrive—
divine Love-sourced thoughts
that remind us
God’s no repairman.
No, the infinite One 
is the architect 
of perfect spiritual design, 
the master builder 
of flawless integrity 
in form and function. 

Remembering this 
allows the request to shift 
from “Fix me”
to “Show me”—
“Show me, Spirit, 
Your truth, 
Your reality, 
Your expression.” 
Then know
in your whole heart
and whole soul
that when thought opens 
to what the Divine is revealing
of you and yours and all,
you will see that you have all
you need,
because divine Love shows
what infinite Mind knows. 

Divine Love guides 
into seeing yourself 
as you are known,
and in this knowing
you are free 
to experience yourself 
as perfectly designed, 
flawlessly built,
eternally whole.
—Bobby Lewis
