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

lacking in themselves, if they do not<br />
pray much and <strong>of</strong>ten for their brethren.<br />
I am deeply convinced that God desires<br />
His children, as members <strong>of</strong> one body,<br />
to present themselves ea.ch day before<br />
the Throne <strong>of</strong> grace to pray down the<br />
power <strong>of</strong> the Spirit upon all believers.<br />
Union is strength. This is true in regard<br />
to the Kingdom <strong>of</strong> Heaven. Real<br />
· spiritual unity will help us to forget<br />
ourselves, to live unselfishly, wholly for<br />
God and our fellow-men. And the word<br />
<strong>of</strong> Peter will be applied to our lives<br />
" watching in prayer-fervent in love."<br />
<strong>The</strong>re can be no surer way <strong>of</strong> growing<br />
in the spirit <strong>of</strong> love than <strong>by</strong> uniting daily<br />
at the Throne <strong>of</strong> grace, and finding our<br />
joy and life in the oneness <strong>of</strong> Spirit<br />
with the whole Body <strong>of</strong> Christ.<br />
Let this little book on Jove be also a<br />
book on prayer. As we meditate on<br />
love to the brethren, we shall be constrained<br />
to have fellowship with God.<br />
And we shall attain this, not <strong>by</strong> reading<br />
or thinking, but <strong>by</strong> intercourse with the<br />
Father, and with the Lord Jesus through<br />
the Holy Ghost. <strong>Love</strong> impels to prayer;<br />
to believing prayer is vouchsafed the<br />
love <strong>of</strong> God.<br />
