"The perfection of His relation to us swallows……" — George MacDonald

The perfection of His relation to us swallows up all our imperfections,… - George MacDonald

"The perfection of His relation to us swallows up all our imperfections, all our defeats, all our evils; for our childhood is born of His fatherhood. That man is perfect in faith who can come to God in the utter dearth of his feelings and his desires, without a glow or an aspiration, with the weight of low thoughts, failures, neglects, and wandering forgetfulness, and say to Him, “Thou art my refuge, because Thou art my home”. "

— George MacDonald
