Today’s Quote
Love is the beauty of the soul.
— John Calvin
Spurgeon’s Daily Help
Only love seeks after love. If I desire someone's love, it can only be because I have love for them. We don’t care to be loved by those we don’t love in return. In fact, it would be more of a burden than a blessing to be loved by someone we don’t love back. When God asks for our love, it's because He
is love. No matter our feelings or circumstances, the heart of Jesus is always full of love—a love that wasn’t earned by our good behavior and isn’t diminished by our mistakes. His love remains constant, whether we are in the darkest night or the brightest day.

The first stone in the High Priest’s breastplate was a sardius or ruby.
The sardius stone shines bright red,Deep with the hue of blood it’s spread;In this, our faith can truly seeThe atonement's matchless mystery.
We can’t appreciate the value of our
Lord Jesus until we understand the power of His atoning blood. Neither emerald nor sapphire can captivate us until we first behold the ruby.
