But He does not forget to Comfort too.
When He Comforts it is that He May Turn the bleeding heart to Himself to Receive the Blessing in Fellowship with Him;
When He refuses Comfort, His Object is still the same.
It is in Making us Partakers of His Holiness that True Comfort Comes.
Whatever Prayer is in Accordance with God’s Will must Begin With God’s Will; men merely Respond To, and Transmit, This Will.

God was Christ’s Joy, and the Fountain of Living Waters to Him, and it was His Delight and His Strength to Live In God and For God.
The Will of God was His Meat and Refreshment and Strength.
What God Requires of Adam is Simply for him to Deny his created, natural life and Be Joined to Him in Divine Life, thus Living Daily By the Life of God.
Such is the meaning of the Tree of Life.

When I speak of Christ as my Life, it must not be a vague, indefinite thing, but I must Know.
Life always works itself out in conduct and action, and if Christ comes into me as my Life, it must not only be something hidden in my heart but something that proves itself in every action and in every moment of my existence.
