The Father loves the Son without any end, and thus does the Son love his people. Rest confident that even down to the grave Christ will go with you, and that up again from it he will be your guide to the celestial hills. Moreover, the Father loves the Son without any measure, and the same immeasurable

love the Son bestows upon his chosen ones. The whole heart of Christ is dedicated to his people. He "loved us and gave himself for us." His is a love which passes knowledge. Ah! we have indeed a precious Savior, one who loves without measure, without change, without beginning, and without end, even as the Father loves him!

Do the very weeds seek the beams of the sun and twist themselves about to face his brightness? Then am I rebuked, for I seek not thus my Lord. Without his light I cannot live, and shall I be content to die? Nay, my gracious Savior, help me to bask in

your love, and feel therein that heavenly sunshine which gladdens all the earth. I will look upward for your light, and when I receive it I will upward send the fragrance of my gratitude.
