"There is no love so gentle, so patient, so enduring, as Christ's love. Again and again you have questioned it, wounded it, forsaken it; again and again you have returned to it with tears, confession, and humiliation, and have found it as unchilled and unchanged as His nature. It has borne with your doubts, has been silent beneath your murmurings, has vailed your infirmities, and has planted itself a thousand times over between you and your unseen and implacable foe. It has never veered with your fickleness, nor frozen with your coldness, nor upbraided you for your backslidings, but all the day long, tracking your wandering, winding way, it has hovered around you with a presence that has encircled you within its divine, all-enshrouding, and invincible shield. Truly there is no love like Christ's!"
-Octavius Winslow, None Like Christ
