In return for the human heart, God gives His heart; for the whole human heart, He gives His whole heart, undivided and united, not limited like a man by space, number, and time. He is our heavenly Father, and thus His paternal love infinitely surpasses every earthly paternal love. Therefore, He does not look upon a man who hears His voice only at the last hour as a careless creature and as a wretched latecomer, but as the child who has been acquired the latest, the one who has been renewed in grace the latest, thus as the youngest and smallest child.
(Jaroslav Durych, Heart and Cross, private printing of the review Na hlubinu, 1932)
