The Training of Love
Philippians 1:9
And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment;


As we train the bodily senses of sight, and touch, and hearing to discriminate accurately, and bring them by exercise, voluntary or involuntary, to exquisite precision and almost unfailing accuracy, so our love must be trained to be itself a universal spiritual sense, at once the eye and the ear and the hand of the heart, seeing and hearing and touching in things Divine, with a sure and delicate feeling that seldom needs correction.

(W. B. Pope, D. D.)
