Among My people who’s made resolutions before Me and not discarded them afterward? Who’s made long-term resolutions before Me instead of often setting their minds on things? Always, humans make resolutions before Me in times of ease, and then write them all off in times of adversity; then, later, they pick their resolve back up and set it before Me. Am I so disrespectable that I would casually accept this junk that humanity has picked up from the garbage heap? Few humans hold fast to their resolutions, few are chaste, and few offer things that are most precious to them in sacrifice to Me. Are all of you not the same? If you’re unable to keep to your duties as members of My people in the kingdom, then you will be spurned by Me!
