The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

August 16

I do not wonder men can ill believe

Who make poor claims upon thee, perfect Lord;

Then most I trust when most I would receive.

I wonder not that such do pray and grieve—

The God they think, to be God is not fit.

Then only in thy glory I seem to sit,

When my heart claims from thine an infinite accord.
