The reward of self-discipline for the Father's committed children in His life . To know and to experience His life is to possess the greatest treasure the world has ever offered or ever will. To increase this life is the point and purpose of existence : all relates to it, and to possess it is to increase the quality of life and living in every particular. So with the life of group, tribe and nation. And as it is sought by individuals so will it be bestowed . As it is bestowed so will it enrich society, tribe and nation. And both world and eternity are affected by the conscious growth of the life in individual, group, tribe and nation. How vital, then, to encourage the life which so builds up the personal and global and cosmic well-being. Such growth comes from the initial step which is taken by everyone who responds to the life offered, and from the continual retracing to that point, which is always beyond the point of departure if he continues faithful. Vital it is if growth is to be sustained to seek daily the time and occasion for communion with the Source of Life as it is given and shown. Patience and quiet discipline, with faith, will be rewarded. As with the individual so with the group : My light and life and love can be known and experienced in quiet community as well as in public worship. Such experience with lively, corporate worship is necessary for growth and development in the full life of the Father's Kingdom.
