It is the will of God that we be a vessel of His love. He wishes to fill our hearts with His love, full to overflowing. We are to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, so that we may be filled even to all the fullness of God. He has, by new birth, imparted to us the divine nature that we may be able to know His love and that He may fulfill His heart’s desire to fill us with His fullness. He is the only source of His love; there is no other. All comes from Him. Our Lord Jesus lovingly exhorts us to abide in His love. We are to allow nothing of darkness to have a place in our heart and so hinder the constant inflow of God’s love. Sin interrupts communion; it stops the free flow of love to us. When this happens, the Spirit cannot occupy us with the love of God in Christ, but must deal with our conscience to judge and remove that which keeps us from abiding in His love. The love of God is profound, beyond understanding, but not beyond knowing. May each of us find that “joy in God” which takes our hearts above every present circumstance and gives us a present enjoyment of what is our eternal portion, dwelling in the love of God and God dwelling in our hearts.
