Worshipper, not worrier

Bea Roegge

Dost thou "love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind"? This command includes much, even the surrender of all merely material sensation, affection, and worship. This is the EI Dorado of Christianity.

—Mary Baker Eddy

"Stop fiddling with the universe,"
the angel said to me.
"Your role is worshipping
divine reality."

"You don't create and never have
but live in God's celestial now,
nothing ashamed of, nothing to fear.
There goes the worry from your brow."

I listened to the angel voice,
and sought the Life divine.
No need for me to bring one change
to this immaculate design.

Worshipping God's plan for man
includes the universe 
unchanged by my finagling,
and for me, worry free!

—Bea Roegge
