Actually Perfect

Monday. Gen. 22: 1-14.

God is ideal, intensely practically idealistic. He insists on the gold being wholly pure, the will wholly strong, the heart wholly perfect in its devotion, the life wholly right. Nothing less will do, even though it cost his own Son’s life to bring things up to standard. And he leads the way in showing us the way. His taking from us is never to make us have less. Following his way, we have more and we are more.
