Love
Death must sever the conjugal tie between the most loving mortals, but it cannot divide the links of this immortal marriage.
Christ Jesus has no quarrel with his spouse. She often wanders from him, and grieves his Holy Spirit, but he does not allow her faults to affect his love.
We have fellowship with Christ in his love. What he loves we love. He loves the saints—so do we.
He sometimes chides, but it is always in the tenderest manner, with the kindest intentions: it is ‘my love’ even then.
As a mother puts out her finger to her little child and woos it to walk by saying, ‘Come,’ even so does Jesus.
He makes rich provision for her wants, pays all her debts, allows her to assume his name, and to share in all his wealth.
