Romans 5:5. And hope maketh not ashamed; -

Our hope brings us courage, no longer are we trembling and diffident, but we feel like children do towards a loving father, we are happily, restfully at home with our God. " Hope maketh not ashamed; " -

Romans 5:5. Because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

When Mary, the sister of Lazarus, anointed the feet of Jesus with the very costly ointment of spikenard, "the house was filled with the odour" of it, and in a similar fashion the love of God perfumes every part of our nature.
