By F. B. MEYER
Father, you have loved us; you love us now; you will love us forever. Your love passes knowledge. It is like a warm, sunlit ocean enfolding the tiny islet of my life; I swim in it, but can never reach its limits. I thank you for the depth and length of your love.
Let the fire of your love consume in me all sinful desires of the flesh and of the mind, that I may continually abide in Jesus Christ my Lord and seek the things of heaven, where he sits at your right hand.
I beseech you O Lord, to bless those whom I love. Minister to them as I would, could I be by their side, and better than I could because your thoughts and ways are so much more tender and helpful than mine could be. Keep them safe beneath your wing.
