God’s Unchanging Love

Love is not love Which alters, when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove.

Yet, this is but a feeble representation of the ineffable union between God and myself. Sinner though I be, He is my lover always. Even my sins cannot break His persistence. My sins can only set a barrier between myself and His persistence, can only (by the dangerous gift of my free will) prevent its effect from being seen in my soul. The love of God is with me always, “in me and within me and around, in million-billowed consentaneousness, the flowing, flowing, flowing” of the Spirit.

How can I hold back, howsoever wrongly I have acted, for His love is the same forever? As I was deep in His love when I was a child, so also does He love me now.
