Through neglect of duty, or because of too much love of the world, our love to God will cool. Preserve your love to Him! As you would be careful to preserve the natural heat in your body, so be careful to preserve the heat of love to God in your soul. Love is like oil to the wheels – it refreshes us in God’s service. When you find that your love for God has diminished and grown cool, use all means to revitalize it. When the fire is going out, you throw on fuel, and when the flame of love is going out, make use of the Word of God and prayer as sacred fuel to keep the fire of your love burning!
