THE WILL OF GOD

The definition of an ideal life:

"A man after Mine own heart, which shall fulfil all My will."

 

The object of life:

"I come to do Thy will, O God."

The first thing you need after life is food:

"My meat is to do the will of Him that sent me."

 

The next thing you need after food is society:

"Whosoever shall do the will of My Father in heaven, the same is My brother, and sister, and mother."

You want education:

"Teach me to do Thy will, O my God."

You want pleasure:

"I delight to do Thy will, O my God."

 

A whole life can be built up on that vertebral column, and then, when all over,

"He that doeth the will of God, abideth for ever."
