The quote from Isaiah 54:10, “Though the mountains be shaken, and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken, nor my covenant of peace be removed,” serves as a poignant reminder of the unwavering nature of God’s love. In contemplating this verse, one is drawn to reflect on the concept of congruence in geometry and how it parallels the consistency of God’s love in the world.
In the realm of geometry, the term ‘congruent’ refers to two figures that are identical in shape and size. When discussing triangles, the concept of congruence implies that all corresponding sides and angles are equal. Similarly, when we look at God’s love, it transcends human limitations, remaining steadfast and unchanging regardless of our actions or beliefs.
Congruent triangles exemplify an essential aspect of God’s love—that it remains constant, unaltered by external circumstances. Just as the sides and angles of congruent triangles perfectly align, so does God’s infinite love envelop us, embracing us with peace and consistency.
