The Whole Universe Is Alive with God's Life

"Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son: and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ" (Galatians 4:7)

What God in His sovereignty may yet do on a world scale I do no claim to know; but what He will do for the plain man or woman who seeks His face I believe I do know and can tell others.

Let any person turn to God in earnest, let him begin to exercise himself unto godliness, let him seek to develop his powers of spiritual receptivity by trust and obedience and humility, and the results will exceed anything he may have hoped in his leaner and weaker days!

Any man who by repentance and a sincere return to God will break himself out of the mold in which he has been held, and is willing to go to the Bible itself for his spiritual standards, will be delighted with what he finds there.

Let us say it again: The universal Presence is a fact. God is here!

The whole universe is alive with God's life, and He is no strange of foreign God, but the familiar Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, whose love has for these thousands of years enfolded the sinful race of men.

Always He is trying to get our attention, to reveal Himself to us, to communicate with us! We have within us the ability to know Him in increasing degree as our receptivity becomes more perfect by faith and love and practice.
