The world is crying out for God

The world is crying out for God. Lost in the canyons of disillusionment, where the trail runs out and stops againts granite barriers that wall us in, wecry: “Why hast thou forsaken me?” When war devastates the land and tremblingly we stand at the mouth of hell, listening to the screaming of airplanes, the wails of the wounded, and the terror of headlines, we cry: “Why hast thou forsaken me?”

The answer to our need lies not in God’s willingness, but in our will to accept, in our ability, through faith, to recognize the Divine Presence as the great reality of life. The power of God within us is like a sleeping giant which must be awakened that it may spring into action.

God is Life; not some life but all Life. God is Action; not some action but all Action. God is Power; not some power but all Power. God is Presence; not some presence but all Presence. God is pure Spirit, filling all space. This pure Spirit animates your every act. There is a real you which lives in a real God and the two are one. To know this is to understand the secret of life. To realize this is to understand your relationship with the Divine Presence. To realize that the Law of God is written in your own mind is to make available to you a power which can meet every need.
