Have love! not love alone for one,
But man as man thy brother call:
And scatter like the circling sun
Thy charities on all.
—Johann Schiller.
He spoke, and words more soft than rain
Brought the Age of Gold again:
His action won such reverence sweet,
As hid all measure of the feat.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson.
That their hearts might be comforted, they being knit together in love.
—Colossians 2. 2.
Gracious Lord, I pray that I may not only be known to those who are my own, but may I consider all mankind. May those who need me find me through my gentleness, and may they be assured by quiet confidence and faith. Amen.
