Men rise early in the morning that they may commune with the Lord. "Let us get up early . . . There will I give thee my love" (S.S. 7:12). Being the best time of the day, it should be spent in holding fellowship with God, in waiting quietly before God, in meditating in God’s presence, in receiving guidance and impressions from God, and in allowing God to speak to us, our spirits being open to Him.
Communion means having one’s spirit opened to God. As the spirit is opened to God, so is one’s mind opened. This gives God opportunity to confer light, to supply a word, to grant an impression, and to render a living touch; it also gives the soul the privilege of learning to touch God, to meditate and contemplate, and to draw nigh in heart to God. This, in short, is communion with God.
