“As it is in heaven” may seem far above us today. The song is too sweet for our unmusical voice to sing. The life is too beautiful for us, with our imperfect, inharmonious nature, to live. But if only we are true to our Christian faith, if only we strive ever to do our Father’s will, if only we keep our heart ever open to the love of Christ and to the help and sanctifying influence of the Holy Spirit, we shall rise day by day toward heaven’s perfectness, until at last we shall enter the pearl gates and be with Christ and be like Him. For the present our striving and our prayer should ever be: “Thy will be done on earth, in us, as it is done in heaven.”
