I

Though God’s essence contains an element of love,

and He is merciful toward each and every person,

people have overlooked and forgotten the fact

that His essence is one of dignity as well.

That He has love does not mean that people can offend Him freely,

without inciting in Him feelings or a reaction,

nor does the fact that He has mercy mean that

He has no principles in how He treats people.

God is alive; He genuinely exists,

He genuinely exists.

He is neither an imagined puppet nor any other object,

nor any other object.

II

Given that God does exist,

we should carefully listen to the voice of His heart at all times,

pay close attention to His attitude, and come to understand His feelings.

We should not use human imaginings to define God,

nor should we impose human thoughts or human wishes on Him,

human wishes on Him,

making God treat people in a human manner based on human imaginings.

If you do this, then you are angering God,

you are tempting His wrath,

you are tempting His wrath,

and challenging His dignity,

challenging His dignity!
