How it would brighten and bless our lives if we were to carry always in our hearts the conception of God as our Father! When we can look up into God's face and say out of warm and responding hearts, "Our Father," all the world and all life take on new aspects for our eyes. Duty is no longer hard and a drudgery, but be-comes a joy. Keeping the commandments is hard if we think of God merely as a king; but if we look up to him as our Father, all is changed, and our love for him, and our desire to please him, make obedience a gladness. We can say then, "I delight to do thy will, O my God."
