"'He himself loves you' . . . . Resolve of that, that you may hold communion with him in it, and be no more troubled about it. Yea, as your great trouble is about the Father's love, so you can no way more trouble or burden him, than by your unkindness in not believing it."
(John Owen
Communion with the Triune God p109) I love reading Owen's writing because of sentences like that. In one sentence he captures how faith and love intertwine - and how unkind (and therefore wicked) it is not to believe God's great love for us.
