This statement by Selwyn is really good: “If we fail to comprehend how much we are loved by God then we will have no energy to live our lives in the way they are meant to be lived.”
It is the major reason, why so many live half-lives. Do you agree?
The following is also good: “Whenever, [...]
Selwyn draws our attention to the issue that when we neglect God’s love we can slide to low levels of worship. His says that the current “low level of spoirituality in today’s Church, is that our hearts are so little occupied with thoughts of God’s divine love.” We don’t appreciate or recognise the love that God has for [...]

The only bit I like today, is his last sentence of the conclusion: “Thus we see that God is one, but also three in one: [...]
The cross’s magnetism
I think the conclusion to today’s study is worth a great deal of meditation: “God’s love will flow into us only if we let it and if we really want it.To desire it is like the touch of the hand on a roller blind; instantly the spring rolls up the blind and the sunlight flows [...]
