The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

November 7

Wilt thou not one day, Lord? In all my wrong,

Self-love and weakness, laziness and fear,

This one thing I can say: I am content

To be and have what in thy heart I am meant

To be and have. In my best times I long

After thy will, and think it glorious-dear;

Even in my worst, perforce my will to thine is bent.
