Downpour

From the Sept 2, 1996 issue of the Christian Science Sentinel


​It's all right to cry.

Let the tears take you down to a place
you thought no one ever knew about,
behold the Christ is here.

You are not alone.

Behold the Christ is here,
the spirit of God,
giving a cup of cold water,
  pouring you out a blessing,
    filling up the vacant hope,
      spilling over with
        an endless, purifying love
           and assurance:
"I have overcome the world."*

The Christ is here,
carrying you with the truth
that your life is flooded with
God's infinite goodness.
​
Be comforted now with clearer, wider vision.
You are not alone.
*See John 16:31-33.
