With God, not in matter

JEANNIE J. FERBER

Where does that leave me and my problem?

It leaves me with God.
And the problem with itself.

The problem was never mine.
(It gave itself to itself.)
It never described me.
(It described itself.)
It never knew me.
Divine Mind knows the only real me.

And I never identified with error.
Spirit identifies me.
Even that which seemed to be
matter touching me
was worlds apart.

It was never near—
for God is nearer: here.
And I am God's expression.
