Julian of Norwich tells us in the Revelations from her own near-death experience in 1373: ?So I was taught that love is our Lord?s meaning. And I saw very certainly in this and in everything that before God made us he loved us, which love was never abated and never will be. And in this love he has done all his works, and in this love he has made all things profitable to us, and in this love our life is everlasting. In our creation we had beginning, but the love in which he created us was in him from without beginning. In this love we have our beginning, and all this shall we see in God without end.? (Chapter 86).
