Read this chapter every day, and from it
obtain comfort and strength. Learn from it the value that God places on
sanctified, heaven-born love, and let the lesson that it teaches come
home to your hearts.
Love is a plant of heavenly origin, and if we would have it flourish 
in our hearts, we must cultivate it daily.
---This
chapter is an expression of the obedience of all who love God and keep
His commandments.
---It is brought into action in the life of every true
believer.
---But
many mysteries yet remain unrevealed. How much that is acknowledged to
be truth is mysterious and unexplainable to the human mind! How dark
seem the dispensations of Providence!
---We
are not now sufficiently advanced in spiritual attainments to
comprehend the mysteries of God. But when we shall compose the family of
heaven, these mysteries will be unfolded before us. Of the members of
that family John writes: They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any
more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. Rev.7:16."
