That Love Is Spontaneous

Some time ago, in an inquiry meeting, I said to a young miss who said that she could not love God, that it was very hard for her to love Him:
“Is it hard for you to love your mother? Do you have to learn to love your mother?”
She looked up through her tears, and said, “No; I can’t help it; that is spontaneous.”
“Well,” I said, “when the Holy Spirit kindles love in your heart, you cannot help loving God; it will be spontaneous.”
When the Spirit of God comes into your heart and mine, it will be easy to love and serve God.
