Law: the Spirit of Love in you

Meditation:
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
—2 Timothy 1:7 (KJV)

Quotation:
Now this is the ground and original of the Spirit of Love in the creature, it is and must be a will to all goodness; and you have not the Spirit of Love in you till you have this will to all goodness at all times and on all occasions. You may indeed do many works of love and delight in them, especially at such times as they are not inconvenient to your state or temper or occurrences in life. But the Spirit of Love is not in you till it is the spirit of your life, till you live freely, willingly, and universally according to it.
... William Law (1686-1761), The Spirit of Love [1752-4], in Works of Rev. William Law, v. VIII, London: G. Moreton, 1893, p. 4 (see the book)
See also 2 Tim. 1:7; Rom. 5:5; 8:15; Gal. 5:22-23; 1 Pet. 1:22; 1 John 4:18

Quiet time reflection:
Lord, enlarge my heart.
