No One Gives to Us but Ourselves

"And he fain would have filled his belly with the husks that the swine did eat; and no man gave unto him."


How true this is; no one can give unto us but ourselves and no one can rob us but ourselves. "There are no gods to say us nay, for we are the life we live." In our greatest extremity, in the moment of great need and dire distress, who can help or serve us? All of our troubles come from an isolated sense of being; we alone can return to the "Father's House."

The question might be asked, "Where was God and why did He not come to the rescue of His beloved son? Did He not care............was He heedless about His son's welfare? Why did God allow such a thing to happen?" There is only one answer to all questions of this nature: God is always god, and man can always do as he pleases. He would not be an induvidual unless this were possible. The Father is never conscious of incompletion. the Father's House is always open, the latch string ever hanging out, the door always ajar, but man must enter, if he wishes to abide within.

Harmony can never become discord. the truth can never produce a lie. God can never be less than God. Could God enter into a field of strife, then He would not be God. God cannot enter the pig pen. We cannot contract the Infinite, but we can expand the finite. "And no man gave unto him." It is always thus.
