Love Your Brother

This commandment have we from Him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

1 JOHN 4:21


HE who loves God all else above,

His own shall also clasp

In circles ampler far of love

Than weaker arms can grasp;

And farther down through space and time

His sympathies descend and climb.

SIR AUBREY DE VERE


THE true proficiency of the soul consists not so much in deep thinking, or eloquent speaking, or beautiful writing; as in much and warm loving. Now, if you ask me in what way this much and warm love may be acquired, I answer,--By resolving to do the will of God, and by watching to do His will as often as occasion offers. Those who truly love God love all good wherever they find it. They seek all good to all men. They commend all good, they always acknowledge and defend all good. They have no quarrels. They bear no envy. O Lord, give me more and more of this blessed love! It will be a magnificent comfort in the hour of death to know that we are on our way to be judged by Him whom we have loved above all things. We are not going to a strange country, since it is His country whom we love and who loves us.
