The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

April 12

I do not fear the greatness of thy command—

To keep heart-open-house to brother men;

But till in thy God's love perfect I stand,

My door not wide enough will open. Then

Each man will be love-awful in my sight;

And, open to the eternal morning's might,

Each human face will shine my window for thy light.
