DO the kittens try to warm the sun?
What a strange question. No! Of course, they let the sun warm them.
Yes! but do you know, I was once very unhappy, for I was trying to love God, instead of basking in the sunshine of His love to me.
The gospel tells us, “God is love.” And it tells us also,
“Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us.” Of course we ought to love Him.
Because He loved us, He sent His only Son to die for us, to shed His precious blood to cleanse us from our sins, and to make us fit for the presence of God. O, what love, what love was His! We can truly say,
“He loved me, and gave Himself for me.” Gal. 2:20.
“GOD CONMENDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, IN THAT WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US.” Rom. 5:8.
