The Love to the Brethren is the Flower and Fruit of the Root,

Unseen in the Heart,

Of Love to God.

And This Fruit again Becomes the Seed of Love to All Men.

By Faith Life is Received;

Through Love Life is Released.

Faith Alone will Let Life in;

Love Alone will Let It out.

Love Gives All, But Asks All.

It does so, not because it grudges us aught, but because without this it cannot Get Possession of us to Fill us with Itself.

In the Love of the Father and the Son, it was so.

In the Love of Jesus to us, it was so.

It is only Love that can Fit us for the Work of Intercession.

The Work of Going To God and Taking Time to Lay Hold On Him.

A Spirit of Prayer and Supplication!

Yes, it is that we need.

We must have not only Love to Bind us to each other but a Divine Love for the lost around us.

The Fruit of the Spirit is Love.

Why are we taught that the Fruit of the Spirit is Love?

Because the Spirit of God Has Come to Make our Daily Life an Exhibition of Divine Power and a Revelation of What God Can Do for His Children.

When we gather together all the attributes of God – His Infinity, His Perfection, His Immensity, His Majesty, His Omnipotence – and Consider Them but as the Rays of the Glory of His Love, we still fail in forming any conception of what That Love must be.

It is a Love that Passeth Knowledge.
