QUIET TIME TAKEAWAY:
God’s standard is to love him more than myself. This gives life.
MY NOTES
“We lose interest in God when we measure him by our own standards, not his.
This is a spiritual sloth.”
John of the Cross 1542-1591
“May we praise God because he is good, not because he is good to me.”
Four degrees of love:
1. Love only ourselves.
2. Love God, but only because we want something from him.
3. Love God, for God alone; not to get anything from him.
4. Love God, forgetting ourselves.
Bernard of Clairvaux 1090-1153 (such incredible wisdom from a thousand years ago!)
‘He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.”
1 John 4:9
