An antidote to all our miseries',

"The love which God has to us!" 1 John 4:16

Who shall describe it? 

What tongue or pen can set it forth? 

It is infinite—so what can finite mortals say? 

It is the present heaven of the saints—to know and believe the love which God has to them. None but the Holy Spirit can reveal it to us, or shed it abroad in our hearts. 

Let us, beloved, daily pray that we may know and enjoy the love which God has to us. This will be an antidote to all our miseries—and a source of joy under all our sorrows. 

Our friends and frames may change—but the love of God is unchangeable.

Our temporal prospects may be all blighted—but if we know and enjoy the love of God—we cannot be unhappy.

Who, or what shall separate us from the love of God? Jesus has told us that we shall never perish, neither shall any pluck us out of His hand. 

The love of our God is the source of our happiness—and the cause of our safety. Oh, to know and believe the love which God has to us!
