Thurman reflects on the struggle to bend the will of God to personal urgency, expressing a desire to find a way to pull God into their life. He contrasts two types of mysticism: one where an individual feels they can compel God's presence through purification, and another that emphasizes waiting for God's arrival, understanding that the power to control divine will is beyond human capacity.

Thurman reflects on a deep spiritual connection with God, describing a sense of being known, cared for, and contained by divine presence, which provides security amidst life's uncertainties. He explores the paradox of feeling both lost and deeply understood by God, culminating in the recognition that even in the face of hardship, this connection brings peace and freedom.

In his conclusion to “The Witness of God,” Thurman discusses how deep faith is experienced at the moment that one chooses to accept the faith that God gives. Such faith is brought to life by a penetrating sense of confidence in God’s will. In the candid words of Thurman’s mother who soberly said to him during a moment of disquiet, “God will take care of us,” she echoes, he believes, the ultimate expression of all that humanity could offer regarding the meaning of life and death.

Thurman reads the full text of his poem "The Great Incarnate Word," first published in Motive magazine in 1944. The poem portrays the emotional journey of an old man who finds hope in the birth of a savior, highlighting the struggles of the poor and oppressed who live in fear. It emphasizes that true fulfillment comes from love and compassion for all, urging humanity to rise above hatred and embrace a life of genuine connection and reverence for God.
