"It's lost! I've lost it!"
What?—an object? Opportunity?
Health or innocence or peace of mind?
Lost?

No! "Lost" is not in Truth's tongue,
the vocabulary of now.
This moment lacks nothing; it's complete.
You never have possessed some thing
that could be lost,
for God alone possesses and sustains you
inseparable from Life, from good,
unlosable, intact.

INTEGRITY

From the November 11, 1996 issue of the Christian Science Sentinel

 

Then, all you have—all you are—
goes on being found
here where you live
in God—where you have integrity,
the whole consciousness of now.
