God revealed all this most blessedly, as though to say: See, I am God. See, I am in all things. See, I do all things. See, I never remove my hands from my works, nor ever shall without end. See, I guide all things to the end that I ordain for them for, before time began, with the same power and wisdom and love with which I made them: how should anything be amiss?…In this endless love we are led and protected by God, and we shall never be lost…And just as we were to be without end, so we were treasured and hidden in God, known and loved from without beginning. I saw…in everything that before God made us He loved us, which love was never abated and never will be. And in this love He has done all His works…and in this love our life is everlasting. In our creation we had beginning, but the love with which He created us was in Him from without beginnning. In this love we have our beginning, and all this shall we see in God without end.
