"He loves, He hopes,
He waits. If He came down on our altars on certain days only, some sinner, on
being moved to repentance, might have to look for Him, and not finding Him,
might have to wait. Our Lord prefers to wait Himself for the sinner for years
rather than keep him waiting one instant."

That is the evidence of the love that God has for each of us - God waits in love.
