<p> &quot;I will love you, O Lord, my strength!&quot; Psalm 18:1<br />
    <br />
    Real religion flows from God's love to us—and consists in our love to God. Our love is excited and drawn forth—by the displays of God's love to us. When He . . .<br />
    pardons our sins,<br />
    speaks peace to our consciences,<br />
    conquers our fears,<br />
    relieves our distresses,<br />
    supplies our needs,<br />
    gives us victory over our foes,<br />
    and enables us to call Him our Father<br />
    <em>—then we love Him!</em><br />
    <br />
    Our love is . . . <br />
    sincere and hearty, <br />
    supreme and abiding. <br />
    <br />
    Not that there is no interruption in its exercise, or is sometimes buried under the rubbish of our corruptions; but it will revive again—it will break forth anew. <br />
    <br />
    <strong>Though damped—it never dies!</strong> It is like its author, immortal. <br />
    <br />
    O to love God more!
