Companions of the Way (Morning)Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.
JOHN CAIRD
LOVE means taking up other lives into our own; and our life grows larger in proportion to the number of other lives embraced in it, and the completeness of our self-identification with them. God's infinitude lies, not in blank and boundless impassibility, but in this, that He can take up, not some, but all finite lives into His own; so that, if we may so speak, there is not one ripple of emotion, one pang of pain or sorrow, one care or grief or trouble, in the least or lowest spirit in His universe that is not reflected in the infinite heart of God.
