From fear released

Sharon Slaton Howell

"Fear not," "Be not afraid,"
our Lord and Master taught.
Christ's divine Science helps us
do what Jesus said we ought.
For we are God's and have His Mind,
our thoughts from Him reflected.
Claiming and understanding this, we are
from harm and fear protected.

There is no fear in God
nor in His image, you and me.
Accepting this as gospel truth,
we cannot help but see
truth do what Jesus said it would:

Expose fear's unreality,
Strike off mental chains,
Make us safe and oh so free!

Christ-informed, spiritually enlightened,
we can have now rightful demonstration
of the fearlessness that belongs to all
as divine Mind's own manifestation.
For man is Mind-created and encompassed
—held intact and dear—
and there is nothing in God's infinitude
for Mind's idea, man, to fear.
