PSALM

Moverly Alderson Smith

God teaches me.His teaching is heard in the quiet of meekness.It comes as a harmony of good thoughts within myconsciousness.These God-thoughts have power.They reveal the perfection of all that God has made.As I accept them, I see clearly that imperfectionis a belief, powerless, unreal.I am not afraid of it.Where imperfection seemed to be, I find perfection.It was there all the time.

Self-thoughts promise to carry me forward with great speed.They come as a rushing torrent that tries to silencequiet communion with God.When I listen to self-thoughts, I believe that I ama power, independent of God.I am exhilarated.Self-thoughts promise to carry me forward with great speed.
