result that he makes God a mere impersonal force and ultimately has nothing
to depend upon but his own unaided knowledge and power of the Law.
But God is very personal to me and should be to you too although

Universal in nature He has reproduced Himself in the form of a human being
for there is no other source from whence we could come.
“Call no man your father on earth for one is your Father who is in heaven.”
To Jesus the Father was very personal and if we can understand the mind

of Jesus we will find how close he was to the all-abiding Spirit of God.
There is nothing exists below except that it exists above, this is a truth that
must be realized so that we can know that to be individual in nature, God has

individualized Himself for us to become individuals, otherwise we could
not exist.
I have shown you already that there can be nothing outside God for

He is infinite and to be infinite He must include all, you and me, and He must
also be expressing himself in you and me otherwise He could not be infinite.
The inner reality of God has not been affected by His individual or personal

expression in us, therefore as we recognise the Spirit as Reality we also bring
the Universal into the personal and the personal into the Universal.
Therefore through understanding the Love of God and the all-giving of
the Father we regard Him as taking the initiative as the Giver established in

ourselves, not something cold and distant but with that personal intimate love
that a parent has for its offspring, we will find ourselves backed up by Infinite
Love, Wisdom and Power?

There must be a true feeling of personal contact with the Father united
in action, this becomes the essence of enthusiasm when our true relation is
realized.
We must stop arguing about non-essentials, for faith in God our Father

is far superior to vague religious beliefs. Therefore the most practical thing to do
is to practise this faith and the Master showed us the way. He made the Father
intimate and close at hand. His Life was the translation of the Love and

Wisdom and Power of the Father into our daily living.
We can do the same for he said, “these things I do you can do also if you
will but believe.” “He that does the will of my Father is my mother, my sister,

my brother.” I have put his words plainly to you so that you can understand
their meaning, so that you will know that real and effective faith is our personal
contact with the Father.
