With Love
Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity
vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up. 1 Cor. 13:4
Those who open their hearts and homes to invite Jesus to abide with
them should keep the moral atmosphere unclouded by strife, bitterness,
wrath, malice, or even an unkind word. Jesus will not abide in a home where
are contention, envy, and bitterness. . . .
Paul had a healthful religious experience. The love of Christ was his
grand theme and the constraining power that governed him.
When in most discouraging circumstances, which would have had a
depressing influence upon halfway Christians, he is firm of heart, full of
courage and hope and cheer, exclaiming, "Rejoice in the Lord alway, and
again I say, Rejoice." The same hope and cheerfulness is seen when he is
upon the deck of the ship, the tempest beating about him, the ship going to
pieces. He gives orders to the commander of the ship and preserves the lives
of all on board. Although a prisoner, he is really the master of the ship,
the freest and happiest man on board. When wrecked and driven to a barbarous
island, he is the most self-possessed, the most helpful in saving his fellow
men from a watery grave. His hands brought the wood to kindle the fire for
the benefit of the chilled, shipwrecked passengers. When they saw the deadly
viper fasten upon his hand, they were filled with terror; but Paul calmly
shook it into the fire, knowing it could not harm him; for he implicitly
trusted in God.
When before kings and dignitaries of the earth, who held his life in
their hands, he quailed not; for he had given his life to God. . . . Grace,
like an angel of mercy, makes his voice heard sweet and clear, repeating the
story of the cross, the matchless love of Jesus.
Love's agencies have wonderful power, for they are divine.
