"In what ways can we love God?"

Counting the ways

J. WOODRUFF SMITH

"How do I love thee? Let me count the ways." There is depth in this touching tribute to the love that Elizabeth Barrett Browning had for her husband.

Yet there is a love—a purely spiritual affection—that transcends the finest human concept. Called charity in the Bible, this spiritual affection loves God just because He is God and not merely because of what He does for us.

In all that Christ Jesus said and did, he showed the quality and quantity of his love for God: the quality holy, the quantity unlimited. Truly there is no feeling to compare with true love—when spiritual sense worships Spirit, which made it.
