One important question that may arise is how long will it take to win His love? You may say that you have attempted it, that you have been engaged in prayers and austerities for years, that you have practiced this for so many years. Yet, it is very important to consider how long has the Lord waited for you? How many births, how many lifetimes has He had to wait? What is the time between then and now? Would we wait as long for Him? How much love He must have for us, for those souls that are truly His! How much He must love them to wait for them for eons.
