Perfect Love

I came across this today while studying… all I can say is “Well said!”… and I wanted to share it…
A mind at perfect peace with God — O, what a word is this!
A sinner reconciled to God — This, this indeed, is peace!
By nature and by practice far — how very far — from God!
Yet now by grace brought nigh to Him.
Through faith in Jesus’ blood.
So nigh, so very nigh to God — I cannot nearer be;
For, in the person of His Son,
I am as near as He.
So dear, so very dear to God — More dear I cannot be;
The love wherewith He loves the Son — such is His love to me.
—Catesby Pacet*
But that’s just a man (human) like you and I…
Hebrews 10:14 says,
For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.
