The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

July 31

Nothing is alien in thy world immense—

No look of sky or earth or man or beast;

"In the great hand of God I stand, and thence"

Look out on life, his endless, holy feast.

To try to feel is but to court despair,

To dig for a sun within a garden-fence:

Who does thy will, O God, he lives upon thy air.
