Excerpt from The Spirit of Love, Vol. 1 of 9: Being an Appendix to the Spirit of Prayer
Now, the Spirit of Love has this Original. God, as considered in himself, in his holy Being, before any thing is brought forth by him, or out of him, is only an eternal Will to all Goodness. This is the one eternal immutable God, that from Eternity to Eternity changeth not, that can be neither more nor less, nor any thing else, but an eternal Will to all the Goodness that is in himself, and can come from him. The Creation of ever so many Worlds, or Systems of Creatures, adds nothing to, nor takes any thing from, this immutable God: He always was, and always will be, the same immutable Will to all Goodness. So that as certainly as he is the Creator, so certainly is he the Blesser of every created Thing, and can give nothing but Blessing, Goodness, and Happiness, from himself, because he has in himself nothing else to give. It is much more possible for the Sun to give forth Darkness, than for God to do, or be, or give forth, any thing but Blessing and Goodness. Now this is the Ground and Originated the Spirit of Love in the Creature it is and must be a Will to all Goodness, and you have not the Spirit of Love till you have this Will to all Goodness at all Times, and on all Occasions.
