Hannah Whitall SmithHow often we say about our earthly friends, "I really would like to have a good quiet settled talk with them so that I can really get to know them."

These thoughts have taught me the importance of the children of God taking time to commune daily with their Father, so that they may get to know His mind and to understand better what His will is.
