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

pray for others. It may mean tears and<br />

a channel through which the Highest<br />

<strong>Love</strong> can attain its aim. Take the souls<br />

around you into a sympathizing, loving<br />

h eart, and begin to suffer with them and<br />

intercede for them. Let it be your chief<br />

delight to live and to suffer for others,<br />

in the love and fellowship <strong>of</strong> the Lord<br />

Jesus. <strong>The</strong>n at length you will realize<br />

what this life <strong>of</strong> love is, as a servant <strong>of</strong><br />

God, and even as God Himself, and as<br />

Christ, to live wholly for the welfare<br />

and happiness <strong>of</strong> others.<br />

0 soul, dwell on this wondrous truth,<br />

that there can be no real . fellowship in<br />

the love <strong>of</strong> Christ, save in unreserved<br />

surrender, to seek always the glory <strong>of</strong><br />

God in the salvation <strong>of</strong> your fellow-men.<br />

" He that dwelleth in love, dwelleth in<br />

God, and God in him."<br />
