God Within “The God who created the heavens and earth and all therein is within us. }Ve do not know Him until we begin to create ourselves. ‘The Divine Spirit that tips the blackbird’s wing with scarlet; who blends the hues of the rainbow; who paints sunsets on Infinite canvas, is within us, and we may become creators of beauty. “The Divine Spirit that holds the stars in their courses, and trades their ellipses; that binds the earth to its central sun, sends its arc of the perfect circle through us, and who shall dare to fix the limits of our power? Man has leaped every limit thus far; every law of Nature he has discovered has been ground for his sovereign feet. i “The Divine Spirit that made human hearts so much alike that they can beat in the unison of love: that made human minds so much alike that the truth of one becomes the truth of all; that has made human eyes so much alike that we share our visions of beauty; that Divine Spirit is within us. Love, truth, beauty are our own created children, not adopted, but the fruit of our loins. only God I know Is within.”—Dr. Frank S. C. Wicks In the Indianapolis Unitarian Bulletin.
