By living upon the Word of God, we
become more like God. Heavenly words taken into the heart form a heavenly
life.
Let your soul be fed each day from the blessed Book of God. Take the time.
Drink deep into its pure, crystal stream, and the beauty of the Lord will
grow upon you. Watch the little things in every-day life--the thought, the
word, the act--until you bring the whole of your life into the habit of
acting godly. Be as kind as you can be today, and you can be kinder
tomorrow. This is for the Christian. We do not become Christians by
growth, but we must grow after we become Christians. We can be more
patient tomorrow by being as patient as we can be today. We can be better
men tomorrow by being our best today. We grow as we live. If we live the
right way, we shall grow that way, and the longer we grow that way, the
more natural and easy the way.
Therefore let your whole life flow out in a trend with the Bible, until it
wears a channel in holiness and Christian character. Gather food daily for
your soul from the sacred page; live in the most intimate communion with
God that is possible; meditate in his law day and night; let the love of
your heart grow warmer; let life be the holiest possible.
