Love can neither be acquired by study nor bought by money.
Christ’s love to us is the free action of His own divine heart. He loved us because He is love; and this love is as strong as it is pure.
“Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it.”
Not all the deep waters of Calvary, not all the floods of divine wrath, shook His love to poor sinners. And, Christian, having loved you, He will love you to the end, to your last day upon this earth, whether that day be death or His coming. Strengthen your heart, then, in the love of Christ, build up yourself in His affection for you.
There is nothing like the love of Christ within the soul to keep you from the power and the evil of the world.
