How do we reflect the likeness of God?

The gift of God in Christ—

You will never understand its magnitude―its selflessness―its essential Godlikeness.

You cannot take it in.

You and I stand on the outer threshold of understanding and have to fall back again and again on the old thought that, after all, it was God, and leave it there.

Taking your wish for service―your love for God―even as you cross over, the door is opened and revelation is yours.

Spiritual growth is a very delicate thing.

The growth of the spirit is a very delicate thing, inasmuch, as the trivial can retard that growth, as well as the dynamic forces of evil, which are thrown against it.

And you are here to grow—

To grow in the likeness of God, your Father and Mother.

You are here to make the most of the opportunity provided by love.

You are here to guard the treasure within because hereafter any neglect will cause you anguish because the cry is always the same—

I did it myself!

You cannot work against the physical, but by God's grace, that which is missing will be made good.

God's ways are marvellous indeed. 

He gives first to you that you may help another, and then duplicates and triplicates His gift by making that passing on to another the means of bringing more to yourself.
