The Diary of an Old Soul

Daily Readings by George MacDonald (1824 - 1905)

December 17

But when I turn and grasp the making hand,

And will the making will, with confidence

I ride the crest of the creation-wave,

Helpless no more, no more existence' slave;

In the heart of love's creating fire I stand,

And, love-possessed in heart and soul and sense,

Take up the making share the making Master gave.
