The Whole Universe Is Alive With God's Life

By A. W. Tozer

Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son: and if a son,
then an heir of God through Christ.   ---Galatians 4:7

        What God in His sovereignty may yet do on a worldscale
I do not  claim to know; but what He will do for the plain man
or woman who seeks His face I believe I do know and can tell
others.

        Let  any  person  turn to God in earnest, let him begin
to exercise himself unto  godliness, let him seek to develop
his  powers of spiritual  receptivity by trust  and obedience
and humility, and  the  results will  exceed anything he may
have hoped in his leaner and weaker days!

        Any man who by repentance and a sincere return to
God will break himself out of the mold in which he has
been held, and is willing to go to the Bible itself for his
spiritual standards, will be delighted with what he finds
there.

        Let us say it again: The universal Presence is a fact.
God is here!

        The whole universe is alive with God's life, and He is
no  strange or foreign God, but the familiar  Father  of our
Lord  Jesus Christ, whose love has for these thousands of
years enfolded the sinful race of men.

        Always  He  is  trying  to get our attention, to reveal
Himself  to us, to communicate with us!  We have within
us  the  ability  to  know  Him in increasing degree as our
receptivity becomes more perfect by  faith  and  love and
practice.
