The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

October 3

I have not knowledge, wisdom, insight, thought,

Nor understanding, fit to justify

Thee in thy work, O Perfect. Thou hast brought

Me up to this—and, lo! what thou hast wrought,

I cannot call it good. But I can cry—

"O enemy, the maker hath not done;

One day thou shalt behold, and from the sight wilt run."
