Although he lost his eyesight, George Matheson pressed on with his plans for Christian ministry.  A poetic and eloquent preacher, his life had its share of heartache as many/most of us do.  From his heartache, he recognized the unchanging love of God that is always with us and holding us up, and penned this hymn, O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go.  Have you found this to be true in your own life?  Have you found that regardless the setbacks of the day or time, or misguided direction you have gone that God's love is there whenever we call out to Him?  He demonstrated His love for the world through Jesus' death on the cross.  No matter how far down we get nor how far we think we have run, God's love is there when we turn to Him.
