UNFOLDMENT

Let good unfold!

INSTANTANEOUS HEALING

When Jesus healed,Instantly the halt and lameLeaped to their feet;With what surpriseThe blinded eyes looked outUpon a brilliant world;The lepers' sores became clean flesh,And peace and calm replacedThe palsied frame.

THE POWER OF RIGHT THOUGHT

If only we would watch our thinking,Would think about the beautiful, the true,The good, the pure, the perfect, the enduring,Become enamored of the heavenly view,These precious things in thought could not be hidden,But they would manifest themselves in lifeAnd by the power in them deliverThe world from sickness, sorrow, strife!

WHITE ALREADY TO HARVEST

"Lift up your eyes," the Master said.

OMNIPRESENCE

I know that God is where I am—Beneath, around, above,Providing, guarding, guiding,Encircling me in love.

SPIRITUAL MAN

Look not at human forms and personalitiesTo find perfection;But at the ever-present Godlike qualitiesOf Love's reflection.
