"THE SON OF GOD LOVED ME AND GAVE HIMSELF FOR ME." His love for me took Him to Calvary. What subject is so sweet as the love of Jesus? The goodwill of His heart towards us He has fixed on us sovereignly, immutably, and eternally. Let us remember this love of Jesus, for it is sufficient to fill us with joy, peace, and contentment. O how He condescended to look upon us, to come and die for us, and now to dwell with us! Ponder His love: what benevolence it has and does display, giving everything that is necessary for life and godliness. How it dignifies its objects, raising them to glory, honour, immortality, and eternal life. Let us remember His love, to comfort our hearts amid changing friendships, to encourage our souls in seasons of gloom, to produce confidence in times of trial, to inspire with fortitude in times of danger, to beget patience when burdened and oppressed, to reconcile under bereaving situations, and to produce zeal and devotion in the Lord's service. O love of Jesus! Please be my daily subject and constant theme! Beloved, let us remember His love, if we forget everything beside; there is nothing so sweet, so precious, so excellent as this!

For Meditation:
O may you know the love of God
Which by His grace is shed abroad
In this poor longing heart!
Help me, dear Lord, for Thee to shine,
To show to men, Thy love divine;
To all Thy love impart.
