Search Me O God
By Bro. G.V. "Rene" Growcott

There is no joy like service. There is no pleasure like perfect peace. There is no happiness like holiness. There is no satisfaction like victorious godliness. There is no glory like total fellowship with God. There is no success like self-overcoming. "OUR fellowship is with the Father." Is it? What does fellow-ship mean to us? What is our conception of it? Have we brought ourselves -- or rather, are we bringing ourselves -- into true, active, fellow-ship with Him, in all His holiness and beauty and glory and perfection? We are invited to. We are promised the power to. We are promised the necessary understanding to, and even the irresistible, overwhelming DESIRE to -- if we seek it with total dedication, as a deep-hidden treasure of incalculable value and beauty. At first the concept of pure, endless, irreversible spirituality and holiness frightens us, bores us, depresses us. Always to be self-consciously holy, and serious, and intensely straining upward, while others play in total, animal relaxation and effortless self-indulgence in the sunny green fields below us. But we are promised -- if we persevere -- the peace, and joy, and desire that will make the struggle its own all-satisfying reward, and reveal the shallow vanishing emptiness of the mindless play in the soon-darkening valley of the flesh that we have left behind to seek the eternal fulness of the fellowship of God.
