December 12: And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. 1 Jn. 4:16

Oh! what a joy to be living to-day! Flowers of hope bestrewing our way! Roses, and lilies of promise, in bloom! Rainbows encircling the ages to come! Oh! blessed Lord, what a portion divine Art thou to the soul who can say Thou art mine; In utter surrender, and joyful repose, Thou o'ercomest in him the last of his foes. R1275
