Love begets love. It is the fire I sit at, that warms me. The nearer the fire, the warmer I am. The nearer I am to the heart of Christ, the warmer will be my own, and the more intense the flame of love to Him. As well might I think of getting warmed by going out to the garden and looking at the snow, as getting more love to Christ by looking to myself, thinking of myself, and trying to increase my love for Him. But, somehow, many say, I do not grow in love to Him, and in appreciation of His love to me; and I do desire to feel more love to Him. Well then if it is the fire I sit at that warms me, it is also the food I eat that satisfies me. Let thy soul then feed on Christ. And a rich repast thou wilt find in this wonderful subject. Meditate thereon. It will bear being studied word by word. And oh, think of the heart that each word flows from. Unbelief lets the words of Christ go for nothing; faith feeds on them. But be sure and rise in thy meditations to the heart whence they flow. Ever study His words in fellowship with Himself. Beware of separating the Word from the Person of Christ. Thus shall 'thy love increase, and thy practical conformity to Himself grow exceedingly.
