Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. Romans 13: 10.
Amid the jarring scenes of this earth-life, how often we hear people wish for the time when they shall have passed beyond this discordant state of existence. They think by passing through this dream which man calls death, and which Jesus called an enemy, that they shall be freed from all sorrow, sickness, sin and death.
There is in man that which tells him divine Love will liberate from the bondage of the flesh; but we mistake the nature of infinite mercy, justice and wisdom, when we think that God will stretch forth His hand and lift us above the discords of mortal sense without the necessary effort on our part.
