Search the Heart

Divine love makes no compromise with sin. It is a love that is true to God and true to those in the home. Read the Thirteenth Chapter of First Corinthians, and you will find a description of God's love in the heart. It is a love that “seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; . . . endureth all things.”

Some people think that because they do not have this divine love they need to seek sanctification, a second work of grace wrought out in the heart which produces divine love. And if they search their heart, they may find that they have never been born again, or, if they have, they may need to repent of their misconduct and do their first works over. Then they can seek sanctification, and after receiving sanctification they are eligible to seek for the baptism of the Holy Ghost.

If you do not have the love of God reigning in your home or in your heart, seek God for it. Then you can obey His command: “Love one another, as I have loved you.” Love solves the family problems. It is the secret of a happy home.
