Religion

RELIGION is a matter between two persons: The individual human soul is one, and God is the other. It is a most high and holy fellowship, or, if one prefers the term, partnership. And our Lord is not the dependent partner, nor will he suffer any of his children to outdo or excel him in generosity or in love. We never throw a crown at his feet that he does not take it up, and remake it into a chaplet of beauty and glory for our own brows. We never sing a heartfelt song to his praise that he does not sometime, somehow, whisper it back into our souls as a word of deathless hope and peace. We never render him a service that he does not transform that service into enrichment of honor and increase of power for ourselves. He hath said, “Them that honor me I will honor,” and this word can not fail.—Selected.
