Divine Love.

Back to Divine Breathings!

---

Godly sorrow, like weeping Mary—seeks Christ.

Saving faith, like wrestling Jacob—finds and holds Christ.

Heavenly love, operating in the heart of a Christian, causes him to enjoy sweet communion with Christ. It brings him into his banqueting house—and his banner over him is love. He esteems Christ as the chief among ten thousand, and the altogether lovely One; and he would part with all his possessions, rather than with him who is the pearl of great price!

Divine love constrains the believer, and he longs to see his Saviour in the realms above; but at the same time it induces him to wait his will; and while in this world to love his cause, his people, and to seek his glory; and in short—to spend and be spent for him.
