Let the Better Love Take Over

There are two loves, the love of God and the love of the world. If the love of the world takes possession of you, there is no way for the love of God to enter into you.

Let the love of the world take the second place, and let the love of God dwell in you. Let the better love take over.

-- Sermon on 1 John 2, 8

Prayer. O to love! to go and be lost to self! to reach God!

-- Sermon 159, 8
