296  No Heart Is Better Than God’s

I

Having chosen to love God, I’d let Him take away whatever He wishes.

Despite feeling a bit sad, I give no word of complaint.

With corrupt disposition, man deserves judgment and chastisement.

God’s word is the truth; I must not misconstrue His intentions.

I often self-reflect and find too much impurity;

if I do not pursue the truth, my disposition cannot be changed.

Though I’ve endured many hardships, it is an honor to enjoy God’s love.

Through hardship, I learn submission. No heart is better than God’s.

II

Being with God day and night, I’ve come to know how lovable He is.

The exposure and judgment of His words shows me the truth of my corruption.

Accepting God’s scrutiny, I’m revealed to be very rebellious.

I open my heart for fellowship, and gain a clear understanding of the truth.

I tremble at the thought of offending God’s disposition;

I warn myself not to rebel again and bring Him more pain.

Though I choose to love God, I’m adulterated with my own ideas.

I must strive to make progress and attain a spirit like Peter’s.

No matter how God views my love,

my only wish is to satisfy Him.

Though I’ve endured many hardships, it is an honor to enjoy God’s love.

Through hardship, I learn submission. No heart is better than God’s.
