SPIRITUAL BREAKFAST

At dawn I sit with precious books at hand,Material senses hushed and clamor stilled,As hidden truths unfold at Love's command,When thought is cleansed from mortal servitude—This is my spiritual breakfast, my true food.

LOVE POINTS THE WAY

Love forever points the wayLeading to unending day;Fears and doubts cannot abide,Since our God is at our side.

THE LITTLE THINGS

What tasks have I today?

THE CHOICE

The world of self is narrow, rimmed by chance,Confined by theory, measured by a sigh;But none is held without his own consent,The choice lies in refusing to comply.

The Master came, and now that he is goneI write to you just what it means to me—Not just the words he said.

Have you any joyBut of God's bestowing?

Father, I ask Thy blessing on my life,Upon each thought, each motive, and each task.
