The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

Will this not then show grandest fact of all—

In thy creation victory most renowned—

That thou hast wrought thy will by slow and small,

And made men like thee, though thy making bound

By that which they were not, and could not be

Until thou mad'st them make along with thee?—

Master, the tardiness is but in me.
