The Soul's Longing for God not Hindered by Social Obstacles
Matthew 10:35
For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother…


As birds, when their time of emigration comes, and they feel the impulse to fly to the summer-land, and will not be stopped, either by the snap of the fowler's gun or by the sweep of the hawk, or by any solicitation, but rise, and fly through night and through day, to find that summer-land: so souls feel the fascinating call of God, and, rising, soar — and must, because the Holy Ghost is upon them.

(H. W. Beecher.)
