981 Don’t Trivialize Your Transgressions
I
God has given you many warnings,
and bestowed many truths to conquer you.
By now, you feel more enriched than you did in the past,
knowing many principles of self-conduct.
You have come to possess so much
of the common sense that the faithful should have.
All of this is the harvest you have reaped
over the course of many years.
God does not deny your achievements
that you have made.
Yet, God frankly doesn’t deny
your numerous rebellions
and betrayals against Him these many years,
for there is not one saint among you,
and you are all corrupted by Satan;
you are enemies of Christ.
II
To date, your transgressions and rebellions have been too numerous to count,
but for the sake of your futures and destinations,
God will nag you once more.
He hopes you’ll understand Him,
that you can believe His every utterance.
God hopes that you can infer
the deep meaning of His words.
Perhaps no one in the future
will tell you what God is telling you.
Perhaps no one will speak to you,
speak to you so charitably,
or, still less, walk you through
these points as patiently.
III
You’ll spend those days to come recalling the good times,
or sobbing out loud or groaning in pain.
Perhaps you will be living through dark nights
without the supply of truth or life;
you may wait hopelessly,
or dwell in regret, losing all reason….
None of you can escape these possibilities.
IV
For none of you truly worship God,
but immerse yourselves in licentiousness and evil,
mixing into your beliefs,
your spirits, souls and bodies
so many things that have nothing
to do with life and truth
but actually contradict these things.
Therefore, what God hopes of you is a path for you to obtain the light.
He only hopes you can cherish yourselves.
Do not dwell on destination
while viewing your behavior
and your transgressions with indifference.
