That was what had changed, he thought. To love posterity and the great institutions you had to believe in the wisdom of men. You had to love them as a child might, gazing upward.

Questions are disturbing, especially those which may threaten our traditions, our institutions, our security. But questions never threaten the living God, who is constantly calling us, and who affirms for us that love is stronger than hate, blessings stronger than cursing.

The strength of God's love in Christ enabled Him to give up His life wholly for us. The same strength is available to us, and as we yield ourselves wholly to it, we shall be able to make the welfare of others the central object of our lives. Those who give themselves wholly into the keeping of God's love will experience His power and all-sufficiency.
