LOVE TO CHRIST AND GOD.

Saviour! teach me, day by day,
Love's sweet lesson to obey;
Sweeter lesson cannot be,
Loving Him who first loved me.


Charity is the very livery of Christ.

Latimer.

Love is a golden key to let in Christ, and a strong lock to keep out others.


Divine love is a sacred flower, which in its early bud is happiness, and in its full bloom is heaven.


Christ is not valued at all unless He be valued above all.


The true measure of loving God is to love Him without measure.


Between God and man, between the gospel and each soul, the interpreter is Love.

Vinet.

God is all love, and the more we are like Him the more we shall love; the trouble is not in the quantity but the quality of our love. If it were wholly pure, wholly unselfish, it could not be too deep or intense; for all true loving lifts us to a higher plane, bringing us nearer to God and the eternal good.
