The Secret of Brotherly Love by Andrew Murray

The Secret of Brotherly Love 30-Day Devotional Is biblical and God-honoring love attainable between human beings? As a part of his classic Secret Series devotionals, Andrew Murray wrote this month-long devotional to remind believers that this kind of love is not only attainable, but it is commanded. Through the gracious spirit of God, believers can be a flowing stream of God’s love to the world. When a Christian comes to understand that the love wherewith God and Christ love him should be in him too—and not merely as a pleasant experience but as a divine life-power, abiding in him—he can have assurance that the Spirit of God longs to effect this love in him. And as he believes this, and surrenders himself fully to the Holy Spirit, he will find that he can and will love all men. Andrew Murray, The Secret of Brotherly Love

trespasses" (Matt. vi. 15). After the<br />

great promise <strong>of</strong> Mark xi. 24, come the<br />

words : " And, whensoever ye ~tand<br />

praying, forgive, if ye have aught against<br />

any .. " In Matthew xviii. 21, we have<br />

the question <strong>of</strong> Peter: "Lord, how <strong>of</strong>t<br />

shall my brother sin against me, and I<br />

forgive him ? " and our Lord's answer :<br />

."Unto seventy times seven." <strong>The</strong>n<br />

follows the parable <strong>of</strong> the servant whose<br />

Lord forgave him his debt, but who<br />

would not show compassion on his fellowservant.<br />

His Lord's question to him<br />

was : " Shouldest not thou also have<br />

had mercy on thy fellow-servant, even<br />

as I had mercy on thee ? " So he was<br />

delivered to his tormentors. And our<br />

Lord gives the warning : " So shall also<br />

My Heavenly Father do unto you, if ye<br />

forgive not every one his brother from<br />

your hearts. "<br />

Let us remember to realize daily :<br />

As I need God's forgiveness each day,<br />

so let me be ready each day to forgive<br />

my brother.<br />

it!<br />

God grant us grace to do<br />
