There is no force strong enough to hold us together as a company, and animate all our doings, but this one force of Love; and so there is a constant attack upon the love without which we are sounding brass and tinkling cymbal.

​That explains why every now and then those who want to live the life of love seem to be constrained to seek the searching and the cleansing of the Spirit of God, first (it has often happened so) in the secret of our own hearts, and then together; and we know how graciously God has answered us, so that, though our word must always be "not as though I had already attained," we do, by His enabling, press onward.

There is another reason why the adversary attacks love.  It is this:

Far out on our uttermost rim a thing may occur which is the reflection, so to speak, of something that was nourished in the heart of one who is in the very center.  I have often known it to be so.  Perhaps it was never expressed in act or word, the eye did not see it, the ear did not hear it.  But spiritual influences move where sight and hearing have no place; and unlove in any one of us, or even an absence of the quality of love of which we have been thinking, is enough to cause the slow stain to spread till it reaches some soul in a moment of its weakness.  And irreparable harm may result.

O Lord, forgive: Thy property is always to have mercy.  Give me the comfort of Thy help again.  Let it be Thy pleasure to deliver me, O Lord my God.
