“God’s goodness is near us. It is not a goodness far away, but God
follows us with his goodness in whatever situation we are. He attaches
himself to us, he has made himself close, that he might be near us in
goodness. He is a father, and everywhere to maintain us. He is a
husband, and everywhere to help. He is a friend, and everywhere to
comfort and counsel. His love is a near love. He has taken upon
himself the closest kinds of relationships, so that we may never lack
God and the evidences of his love.”
