Holy and humble Christian love
Jonathan Edwards, "Charity and its Fruit"
Holy and humble Christian love, is a principle
of wonderful power to give ineffable quietness
and tranquility to the soul. It banishes all
disturbance, and sweetly composes and brings
rest to the spirit, and makes all divinely calm
and sweet and happy. In that soul where divine
love reigns and is in lively exercise, nothing can
cause a storm, or even gather threatening clouds.
