1 John 4:8 He that loves not knows not God; for God is love. You have seen the stream that in summer was broad and flowing, in winter covered with a thick coating of ice; but God's love is a stream that never freezes. You have seen the fountains that in winter, when the springs were active, had an abundant supply of water, but when summer came with its drought, were dry; God's love, however, is a fountain that never becomes dry. You have seen the sun pour a flood of golden beams upon the earth through the live long day, and set in. darkness as night approached; but God's love is a sun that never sets. You shall see the world burning, and the stars drop from their orbits, and the heavens be rolled up like a scroll; but God's love lasts forever and ever. (W. G. Pascoe.)
