"Love will dispose the Christian to behave toward God, as a child to a father; amid difficulties, to resort to Him for help, and to put all his trust in Him; just as it is natural for us, in case of need or affliction, to go to one that we love for pity and help. It will lead us, too, to give credit to His word, and to put confidence in Him; for we are not apt to suspect the veracity of those we have friendship for. It will dispose us to praise God for the mercies we receive from Him, just as we are disposed to gratitude for any kindness we receive from our fellow-men that we love. Love, again, will dispose our hearts to submission to the will of God, for we are more willing that the will of those we love should be done, than of others."
~ Jonathan Edwards
