November The Twenty-Seventh

POUR into our hearts the spirit of unselfishness, so that, when our cup overflows, we may seek to share our happiness with our brethren. O Thou God of Love, who makest Thy sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendest rain on the just and the unjust, grant that we may become more and more Thy true children, by receiving into our souls more of Thine own spirit of ungrudging and unwearying kindness; which we ask in the name of Jesus Christ - Amen.

-- HUNTER'S DEVOTIONAL SERVICES, 1892

  1. Funny how most people think of the "God of Love" as that cute little fellow with the small bow and arrow... not so, says T. The (ancient of days) God of Love is considered one of might, muscular with clouds and sungold, and he hurls a spear when your attention is needed.
    I think I like THAT one just fine.
    Thanks for this.
