HOW kind sister is to little brother! She takes care of him, and in the early morning has taken him into the garden with his little basket, and has gathered some fruit for him, and now she takes him on her knee, and holds the basket for him to help himself. Do you think God is well pleased with us when we show kindness and affection for one another? Ah, yes, He would have us with tender hearts, and He exhorts His own to love one another.
The way in which we can truly love one another, is first to know the love that God has shown to us. Where He has expressed it the most, was when He gave His own son to die in our place. He loved us so much that He did not want us to suffer for our sins, and thus be sent away forever from His holy presence, so He punished His son in our stead.
May we, dear readers, enjoy this in our souls, and then we will be able to manifest that love to others.
“THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT IS LOVE, JOY, PEACE, LONG SUFFERING, GENTLENESS, GOODNESS, FAITH, MEEKNESS, TEMPERANCE: AGAINST SUCH THERE IS NO LAW.” GAL. 5:2222But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, (Galatians 5:22).23.
