All is good except sin; for it is written, "God saw every thing that He had made, and, behold, it was very good." Therefore, if thou lovest God, thou must love all things, for all things are of Him, and by Him, and through Him; and in Him all live and move and have their being. Then thou wilt truly love God. Thou wilt be content with God; and so thy love will cast out fear.
Amen. Father, I have sinned against Thee, and am not worthy to be called Thy child; but I come to Thee. Father, I hate myself; but Thou lovest me. I do not understand myself; but Thou dost, and Thou wilt be merciful to the work of Thine own hands.
See Fortress of the Soul, vi. ch. xi. See Relation, iii. section 16. See above, section 1. Relation V. Observations on Certain Points of Spirituality. "What is it that distresses thee, little sinner? Am I not thy God? Dost thou not see how ill I am treated here? If thou lovest Me, why art thou not sorry for Me? Daughter, light is very different from darkness.
John, the beloved disciple was there, but it is not recorded that Jesus spoke to him personally. His heart was wholly with his Lord, and he did not need the loving help that was given to doubting Thomas, and self-confident, wavering Peter. To Simon Peter He said after they had finished their simple meal, "Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these?"
For such severity neither thy mouth nor thine eye have been given thee. Nor, methinketh, hath thy stomach either: unto IT all such rage and hatred and foaming-over is repugnant. Thy stomach wanteth softer things: thou art not a butcher. Rather seemest thou to me a plant-eater and a root-man. Perhaps thou grindest corn. Certainly, however, thou art averse to fleshly joys, and thou lovest honey."
And then to Peter, all dripping still, shivering, and amazed, staring at Christ in the sun, on the other side of the coal-fire, thinking a little perhaps of what happened by another coal-fire, when it was colder, and having had no word changed with him by his Master, since that look of His, to him so amazed, comes the question, "Simon, lovest thou Me?"
But the general principles which underlie this threefold charge, to feed and to tend both 'the sheep' and 'the lambs, may be put in a form that applies to each of us, and it is this the best token of a Christian's love to Jesus Christ is his service of man for Christ's sake. 'Lovest thou Me? 'Yea!
"Speak!" exclaimed Isabel, in jealous suspicion of his silence. "Speak, if thou lovest me." "I dare not tell thee so; I will not yet say I love thee." "Then what matter my fate?" said Isabel, turning pale and shrinking from his side. "Leave me; I fear no danger. My life, and therefore my honor, is in mine own hands." "Be not so mad!" said Zicci. "Hark! do you hear the neigh of my steed?
She went on rapidly, "It is rumored in the Ghetto thou art to be a friar of St. Dominic. Shloumi the Droll brought the news." "It is so, Miriam. I am to take the vows at once." "But how canst thou become a priest? Thou lovest a woman." He stopped in his walk, startled. "What sayest thou, Miriam?" "Nay, this is no time for denials. I know her. I know thy love for her. It is Helena de' Franchi."
"Nay," she said presently, in answer to something he had said, "no love have I for Jinaban; 'tis hate alone that hath led me to aid him, for he hath sworn to me that I shall yet see Letanë lie dead before me. And for that do I steal forth at night and take him food." "Dost thou then love Parma?" "As much as thou lovest his wife," the girl answered quickly, striking him petulantly on his knee.
