I

Whenever God is upset,

He faces a mankind that does not pay any attention to Him at all,

a mankind that follows Him and claims to love Him

but completely neglects His feelings.

How can His heart not hurt?

In God’s management work,

He sincerely carries out His work on and speaks to each person,

and He faces them without reservation or concealment;

but conversely, every person who follows Him is closed off toward Him,

and no one is willing to actively get closer to Him,

understand His heart, or pay attention to His feelings.

Even those who want to become God’s intimates do not want to get close to Him,

to be considerate toward His heart, or try to understand Him.

II

When God is joyful and happy,

there is no one to share His happiness.

When God is misunderstood by people,

there is no one to comfort His wounded heart.

When His heart is hurting,

there is not a single person willing to let Him confide in them.

Over these thousands of years of God’s management work,

there have been none who understand God’s emotions,

none who comprehend or appreciate them,

let alone any who could stand beside God to share in His emotions.

God is lonely. He is lonely!

God is lonely not just because corrupted mankind opposes Him,

but more because those who seek to be spiritual,

those who seek to know God and understand Him,

and even those who are willing to expend their entire lives for Him,

also do not know His thoughts and do not understand His disposition

or His emotions.
