[Manna - March 7]
If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and His love is perfected in us. 1 John 4:12
WHETHER I am something or nothing in God's estimation
is to be measured by my love for Him, for
His brethren, for His cause, for the world in general,
and even for my enemies,—rather than by my knowledge
or fame or oratory....
In the measurement of character, therefore, we are
to put love first, and to consider it the chief test of
our nearness and acceptance to the Lord....
Those begotten of the Holy Spirit should all be good
tempered.
In no way can we better show forth the
praises of Him who hath called us out of darkness
into His marvelous light than by the exhibition of the
spirit of love in the daily affairs of life. Z.'03-56,57 R3150:3; R3150:4; R3151:2
