  The children of God are called to be representatives of Christ, showing forth the goodness and mercy of the Lord.As Jesus has revealed to us the true character of the Father, so we are to reveal Christ to a world that does not know His tender, pitying love.“As Thou hast sent Me into the world,” said Jesus, “even so have I also sent them into the world.”“I in them, and Thou in Me; ...that the world may know that Thou hast sent Me.”John 17:18, 23.

• God's love for man   The Privilege of Prayer

  Through nature and revelation, through His providence, and by the influence of His Spirit, God speaks to us.But these are not enough; we need also to pour out our hearts to Him.In order to have spiritual life and energy, we must have actual intercourse with our heavenly Father.Our minds may be drawn out toward Him; we may meditate upon His works, His mercies, His blessings; but this is not, in the fullest sense, communing with Him.In order to commune with God, we must have something to say to Him concerning our actual life.

• God's love for man   A Knowledge of God

  Many are the ways in which God is seeking to make Himself known to us and bring us into communion with Him.Nature speaks to our senses without ceasing.The open heart will be impressed with the love and glory of God as revealed through the works of His hands.The listening ear can hear and understand the communications of God through the things of nature.The green fields, the lofty trees, the buds and flowers, the passing cloud, the falling rain, the babbling brook, the glories of the heavens, speak to our hearts, and invite us to become acquainted with Him who made them all.
