God's Love

“God’s love is a fruitful love.”


“Wheresoever he loves, he makes the things lovely. We see things lovely, and then we love them; but God so loves us that in loving us he makes us lovely.”

“For his love is the love, as of a gracious, so of a powerful God, that can alter all things to us, and us to all things. He can bring us good out of everything, and do us good at all times.”

“God will be good to them in the best things, and a Christian, when he begins to know what the best things are, concerning a better life, he then learneth to value spiritual blessings and favours above all other whatsoever.”

“God’s love is a fruitful love, and fruitful in the best things.”
