Only an impassible God can help, for only a God without passions can truly be love itself.
Imagine a god with passions, who suffers, who lacks, and you imagine a creature; perhaps an interesting creature, but a creature nonetheless.
No, God is love, and therefore without passions; without lack; without potential yet unrealized. Thus he creates all that is, seen and unseen, out of nothing at all, for the sheer love of it all.
In this he does not risk any loss, for he can know no loss. In this he never waits, never asks permission. He is, all in all, and only thus can he guarantee our freedom, our salvation; only thus can he make good all that we have made so wrong.
