"I DELIGHT TO DO THY WILL, O MY GOD"

EMILY RUTH SUMMERS

The Psalmist said in joyous recognition of his unity with God (Ps. 40:7,8), "Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me, I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart."

To come to God in the spirit of belonging to Him and of knowing that He is the source of our true consciouness—that He does everything with us and for us—is to taste of pure spiritual happiness. Because we are His, because in our true being we reflect the activity of divine Love, we can say, "In the book of Life, in the heart of God, divine Principle, in the reality of pure being, it is written of me and of each one that we delight to do God's will."

It is natural and easy for God's child to reflect God. We must look to God alone for perfection; then we shall see it reflected in man. In God, our parent Mind, we find the motive power of our existence, our intelligence, health, peace, strength, activity—our full and complete awareness of good. From God alone we derive our true conscious existence.
