The Father never
hides His face from His child. Sin hides it, and unbelief hides it, but the
Father lets His love shine all the day on the face of His children. The sun
is shining day and night. Your sun shall never go down. Begin to seek for
this. Come and live in the presence of God. There is indeed an abiding
place in His presence, in the secret of His pavilion, of which some one has
sung very beautifully:
With me, wheresoe'er I wander,
That great Presence goes;
That unutterable gladness,
Undisturbed repose.
Everywhere, the blessed stillness
Of that Holy Place;
Stillness of the love that worships,
Dumb before His face.
This is the portion of those to whom the prayer is granted--"One thing have
I desired of the Lord, and that will I seek after; that I may dwell all my
days in the house of the Lord; to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to
inquire in His temple." "In the secret of His pavilion He hideth me." God
Himself will take you up, and will keep you there, so that all your work
shall be done in God.
