385. In my case

In my case,
My forgiveness is kind to me.
    In my case,
My ignorance is kind to me.
    In my case,
My Lord is kind to me.

My forgiveness lovingly says:
“I will give you infinite chances
To perfect your life.”

My ignorance cheerfully says:
“Don’t be in a hurry.
I have spoken to the Mother, Eternal Time, about you.
She will wait for you indefinitely;
So, you can take your own time.”

My Lord compassionately says:
“Son, you are a sick man,
You are a weak soldier,
You are a poor seeker.
    Therefore
It is my duty supreme
To do everything within you,
Everything for you.”
