Hard times

Bobby Lewis

Everybody’s hard times
     are hard
     and suggest
          aggressively
     that somehow
     you are separated
          from God, good
     no longer
          loved by Love
     not deserving
          of being loved by Love
But you know the truth
     and there is no truth in that

Difficult circumstances cannot
separate you
     from your Father-Mother
     nothing can do that
          nothing at all

The kingdom of God
     the reign of divine Love
     is at hand
     within and without
          unchanging
          unchangeable
          embracing you
          in healing love.
