For fear -- the one sure remedy

(c)  By:  Sharon Slaton Howell




"Fear not," "Be not afraid,"
our Lord and Master taught.
And  Christian Science will help
us do what Jesus said we ought.

For there is no fear in God,
nor in His image, you and me.
Accepting this as gospel truth,
unafraidness we cannot help but see.

Christ-informed and enlightened,
we can have now demonstration
of the fearlesness that belongs to us
as God's own manifestation.
For we are God's and have His Mind.
God-created and encompassed
      --held intact and dear --
there is nothing in God's allness
for any one of us to  fear.

This truth will do what Jesus said it would:

....Expose fear's unreality,
............. Strike off mental chains,
......................Make us feel oh so free!
