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," 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.
