GOD IN US
“Many men, in their earnest desire to enter fully into the Christian experience, strain after a realization of God’s presence as though by some violence and stress of the will it could be attained. Their souls are mortars, their petitions bombs: they explode themselves toward heaven, and save for the echo of their own outburst they hear no answer whatever . . . The presence of God can be experienced only within our own hearts. All the best in us is God in us. Generally, if not always, it is quite impossible to distinguish between the voice of God and the voice of our own best conscience and ideals. They are not to be distinguished. What we call conscience and ideals are God’s voice, mediating to us through our own finest endowments.” The Meaning of Prayer, H. E. Fosdick
