I

Only the Creator has tenderness toward this mankind.

Only the Creator shows this mankind compassion and affection.

Only the Creator holds a true,

unbreakable affection for this mankind, for this mankind.

Likewise, only the Creator can bestow mercy on this mankind

and pity all of His created beings.

Likewise, only the Creator can bestow mercy on this mankind

and pity all of His created beings.

II

His heart is pulled along with every one of man’s actions:

He’s angered, distressed and grieved over man’s wickedness and corruption;

He is pleased, joyful, forgiving and jubilant for man’s repentance and belief;

every single one of His thoughts and ideas

exists for and revolves around mankind;

what He is and has is expressed entirely

for mankind’s sake, for mankind’s sake;

the entirety of His emotions are intertwined with mankind’s existence.

III

For mankind’s sake, He travels and rushes about;

He silently gives forth every bit of His life;

He dedicates every minute and second of His life….

He has never known how to cherish His own life,

yet He has always pitied the mankind He Himself created….

He gives all that He has to this humanity….

He grants His mercy and tolerance unconditionally

and without expectation of recompense.

He does this only so that mankind can continue

to survive before His eyes, receiving His provision of life.

He does this only so that mankind may one day

surrender before Him and recognize

that He’s the One who nourishes man’s existence

and supplies the life of all creation, supplies the life of all creation.
