Watchfulness requisite

Simply asking that we may love God will never make us love Him; but the longing to be better and holier, expressed in daily watchful- ness and in striving to assimilate more of the divine character, will mould and fashion us anew, until we awake in His likeness. We reach the Science of Christianity through demonstration of the divine nature; but in this wicked world goodness will "be evil spoken of," and patience must bring experience.
