Godly or Godless?

You are not called to believe in your love to God, but in God’s love to you. Do not argue, ‘I cannot love God! I have striven to my uttermost to do so, but I have failed in all my endeavors, until in despair I have abandoned the thought and have relinquished the attempt’. But it is so–no effort of your own can strike a spark of love to God from your heart. Nor does God demand the task at your hand. All that He requires of you is faith in His love, as embodied and expressed in Jesus Christ to you the poor sinner. Octavius Winslow (1808-1878), Famous Evangelical Baptist Pastor to England and the United States. Comment: Do not try to be God! Let God be God in you! Let His Word, His blood and His Holy Spirit live in you! Let him take residence in you! Then His eternal love not your failing human love will be expressed to you and others! James and Hamsa Sasse.
