It is only as the heart is fresh in communion with the Father and with the Lord Jesus Christ that there is real love to the brethren. The children of a family are not found together because they were born of one father and mother. If the tender mother and the beloved father be gone, the power that kept them together is gone from among them. So, with regard to fellowship with the Father and the Son, if that be not maintained with all freshness, love to the brethren fails.
G. V. Wigram
