"Love" by George Herbert

Like most of the metaphysicals they write about their religion and divinity to God. This poem titled "Love" is simply about the love the speaker has for God. And this poem presents a sort of drama between the poet and love. Love (my dear) is God. The poet feels unworthy of love or acceptance and he continually comes up with excuses to not be loved. The poet is sinful but God is willing to see past that. The poet is harder on himself than God is; he considers himself a human failure. Like many other sinners the poet must stop making excuses and accept God's forgiveness and redemption or even savior. Herbert is not saying that all sinners are saved and forgiven but if they have morals and a good side than that side is what makes them feel unworthy of being saved by God (on judgment day)?
