God’s Fatherhood

He lives holiest who can say, “My Father” with the deepest heart realization. it is positively impossible to live wholly free from care, anxiety, fret, trouble, and fear without a conception of God’s Fatherhood, and soul-consciousness that He is your Father. Except the Spirit is lisping in your heart, “Abba, Father,”* (Galatians 4:6) you will not live as a child of God should. Listen now, you cannot feel in your heart the great, loving, fatherly care of God and have Him real as life to your soul without deep and holy contemplation of Him. This brings us to where we have been before. We tell you with the strongest emphasis that without meditation, feeding on Christ and assimilating His power and life and love, you will fail again and again to live as your heart tells you that you should. You have tried to be more patient in your home, but you have failed again and again. You have tried to not speak so idly. Cease your trying and go to meditating on the loving fatherhood of God, feed on His life, His love, His joy, assimilate His grace, and ere you are aware the impatient speech, the idle word has taken wing and flown away. The peace of God will keep your heart. It is not so much by trying as by feeding. Get stronger inward life.
