God's Love

"I saw that by His coming in to me, He would love sinners through me, as He loved me. It would not be forcing myself to love others, any more than the Savior forced Himself to love me. No person could be an enemy to me, because I had been an enemy to Him before I was reconciled. If I live in the realm where He is, I live to have mercy, and to be kind, to love others. Could the love of God in me do harm to anyone? I had left the world and its folly, and been born into that Kingdom where there is only the love of God---the most attractive life on the face of the earth." Reese Howells

I love you, O my GOD; and I desire
to love you more and more. Grant
to me that I may love you as much
as I desire, as much as I should.
O Beloved Friend; who has so loved
and saved me, the very thought of
Whom is so sweet and always growing
sweeter; watch over my lips, my steps,
my deeds, and I shall not need to be
anxious either for my soul or body.
Give me love, divine love, which
knows no enemy. Give me in my heart
pure love, born of your love for me;
that I may love others even as you
love me. O most loving Eternal Father
of Jesus Christ, from whom flows all
love, let my heart, once frozen in
sin and cold to you and to others;
be warmed by this sacred fire. So
bless and help me in your Son. AMEN
