A HELP TO THE LOVE OF GOD.

By Charles Gore

Our Lord gives the answer to a difficulty continually perplexing honest Christians—"How am I to learn to love God? I want to do my duty, but I do not feel as if I loved God." Our Lord gives the answer, "Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."

Act for God, do and say the things that He wills: direct your thoughts and intentions Godward; and, depend upon it, in the slow process of nature, all that belongs to you—your instincts, your intelligence, your affections, your feelings—will gradually follow along the line of your action. Act for God; you are already showing love to Him, and you will learn to feel it.—Charles Gore.
