Testing Your Love for God

In an engine-room it is impossible to look into the great boiler and see how much water it contains. But running up beside it is a tiny glass tube, which serves as a gauge. As the water stands in the little tube, so it stands in the great boiler. When the tube is half full, the boiler is half full; when the tube is empty, the boiler is empty. Do you ask, "How do I know I love God? I believe I love Him, but I want to know." Look at the gauge. Your love for your brother is the measure of your love for God.—S. S. Chronicle.

Jude 21 KJV 1900

21 keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

Matthew 22:23–33 KJV 1900

23 The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him, 24 Saying, Master, Moses said, If a man die, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. 25 Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother: 26 Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh. 27 And last of all the woman died also. 28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. 31 But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, 32 I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. 33 And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine.

Matthew 22:34–40 KJV 1900

34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. 35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

2 Thessalonians 3:5 KJV 1900

5 And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ.

God always points us to Him

12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.

A Mother Bird's Love—And How Much More!

How little even Christians really understand God's great love for us! Last spring, when they were trimming trees on our street, one day just a little before lunch time the men cut off a limb in which was a bird's nest with four baby birds in it. The little birds were killed in the fall; soon the mother bird came, and she flew over and back again and again, calling, calling, calling in her ef­fort to find her babies. Soon the men sat down on the grass near the tree and ate their lunch, and still that little mother bird kept flying over their heads and calling. Finally something dropped with a thud almost at the feet of one of the men. He stooped and picked it up, and it was that little broken-hearted mother bird dead. Dear Christians, if that is the love and yearning in a little mother bird's heart, how God's great heart must yearn for His lost and straying children! Not only for those who have tasted His love and then wandered, but for the last and least soul on this old earth.—Sunday School Times.

Matthew 6:26 KJV 1900

26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
