If God is Love, He is, by definition, something more than mere kindness. And it appears, from all records, that though He often rebuked us and condemned us, He has never regarded us with contempt. He has paid us the intolerable compliment of loving in the deepest, most tragic, most inexorable sense.

C.S.Lewis, The Problem of Pain (New York: Macmillan, 1965), 41

He is still Emmanuel, "God with us", even when to all appearances you stand all alone. I'm sorry, Bong.
