God's Ways with Us

 

The way of God which He would make us know is always the way of His will. The one business of life is to learn to do that will. We say it lightly in our prayers, “Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.” If our prayer is answered our whole life will be drawn into the divine way. What effect, for example, will God’s way have on our grudges, our unbrotherly feelings, our jealousies, our resentments, or our selfishness? They must all come into tune with the law of love, so in all life. The way on which God guides us is a way of holiness. It is an ever-ascending way, for its terminal is heaven. It is a prayer, therefore, that we must make continually. We must always keep climbing upward. No matter how good you are today, you should be somewhat better tomorrow.
