Heavenly Love and Human Infirmity

By Hare

WHEN we are fullest of heavenly love we are best fitted to bear with human infirmity, to live above it and forget its burden. It is the absence of love to Christ, not its fullness, that makes us so impatient of the weaknesses and inconsistencies of our Christian brethren. Then when Christ is all our portion, when he dwells with us and in us, we have so satisfying an enjoyment of his perfection that the imperfection of others is as it were swallowed up, and the sense of our own nothingness makes us insensible to that which is irritating to individual feelings and habits.—Hare.
