The first prin- ciple of that man's life comes to be God.
Instead of looking for a philosophy, a state- ment, a law which will comprehend and har- monise his life, now he looks for a person, for God. Religion is the total acceptance by his nature of that higher Nature to which it gives itself in obedience and love.' ' He looks for a person.' Why do we use that word ?
Because if we abandon it, we renounce with it something which ought not to be renounced.
74 Converging Lines of Religious Thought... We use it, not because we would ascribe human passions or anything merely human to God ; but because we cannot admit that God is anything less than a Living God, who comes to meet the soul's desire to find him.
' Omniscience' does not afford what is needed; there is nothing divine in the thought of an infinite Impartial Spectator of the multitudi- nous panorama of human history, even if he sees and knows every detail in it. God loves us, God claims us, God is 'our Father' — what do these words mean but this, that the Life of God comes to meet ours with the power of all that Being can feel towards dependent being, with the intent to communi- cate and repeat himself, to fulfil imperfection in perfection, to turn evil to good ?
