87 May the Love Between Us and God Last Forever
I
So many past events flowing by, come up in my mind scene after scene.
I only hate myself for failing to satisfy God, and always making God worry about me.
Looking at myself, I find my whole being and my thinking and doing all disobey God,
I dine, dress, reside, travel, and think only for the sake of my flesh,
In my every act, move, and wink I have my own intents and purposes.
Today I’ve just seen my true self clearly: I resist God by nature.
II
God created man for gaining man, to manifest God.
Yet what man lives out is only Satan; how can this not grieve God?
We are so corrupt, but God is still saving us,
And waiting for us to be transformed; we’re really numb, obtuse, and hardened in heart.
God has undergone all kinds of sufferings to pour out His life to us;
Our hearts are gradually melted by God’s genuine love.
III
God is incarnated for saving us, setting an exemplar in every aspect.
All that God does is for our sake; we cannot fail God.
God’s chastisement contains so much of God’s love;
In love is God’s wrath, and in wrath is righteousness.
God has revealed all His disposition to the end-time people,
So we have received the extremely great salvation; we should all the more love God truly.
IV
Let’s quickly return to God our love; God is going back to His dwelling place.
We don’t know when we will meet Him again after this parting.
I expect God to leave and expect God to return, with myriad feelings in my heart.
The affection is lingering without cease; let love be conveyed between heaven and earth.
In heaven above and on earth below God and men are closely linked together.
O God O God! The love between us will last forever.
O God O God! The love between us will last forever.
