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

URI~G the Boer War, when<br />
D there was much unrest in the<br />
country, a certain minister asked his<br />
brother-minister, who was a leader<br />
in the Church, to do his best to calm<br />
the minds <strong>of</strong> those around him. His<br />
answer was : "I have enough trouble<br />
