God, the Eternal God, is Love.

Covet therefore that everlasting gift,

that one thing which it is certain

is going to stand, that one coinage

which will be current

in the Universe when

all the other coinages

of all the nations of the world

shall be useless and unhonoured.

You will give yourselves

to many things, give yourselves

first to Love.

-Henry Drummond
