Drummond: love without thought of return

Feast of Boniface (Wynfrith) of Crediton, Archbishop of Mainz, Apostle of Germany, Martyr, 754
Meditation:
But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
—Luke 6:35 (KJV)

Quotation:
Instead of allowing yourself to be so unhappy, just let your love grow as God wants it to grow. Seek goodness in others. Love more persons more—love them more impersonally, more unselfishly, without thought of return. The return, never fear, will take care of itself.
... Henry Drummond (1851-1897), a letter (see the book)
See also Luke 6:35; Lev. 19:18; 25:35-37; Luke 6:27-31; 18:14; Phil. 2:3-4; 1 Pet. 5:5

Quiet time reflection:
Lord, fill me with Your love.
