God is not just a God of Love but a One of unlimited love. This love is pure and peaceable. Friends should dwell in it in unity of the Spirit for it warms our hearts and knits and unites us together. If we do this, we will be able to look above all outward suffering.
This Love enables us to bear all things; whatever wicked men do to us, or what God may try us with. For His Love casts out false fear, unites the hearts of His people in heavenly joy, concord and unity. Mind the "pure Refreshings in the unlimited Love of God."
For God preserves us by his eternal arm, carries us in his hand, and opens his ears to our cries when we suffer.
LOVE OVERCOMES; NEVER FAILS
Dear Friends and brethren in Christ Jesus, all walk in the Power and Spirit of God, that is over all, in Love and Unity. For Love overcomes and Love and Charity never fails, but casts out false fear, is of God and unites all the hearts of his people together in heavenly Joy, concord and Unity. Amen Letter 417 written in London, the 27th of the 5th Month, 1689.
This is the fear of the opinion of others, especially those who disapprove of our love of God.
How is it possible to benefit from God's love, His providence? God's plan for every person is that we are to love Him and to do His will in our lives so that we will spend eternity loving Him.
We must start right now, must experience God for ourselves. It is possible to know about God because He has told us about Himself. That's what revelation means.
