412. God, tell me the reason, please

In six days, God,
You created and completed
Heaven and earth.
How is it that my love-room
Still remains unfinished,
My devotion-room untouched,
My surrender-room unbuilt?
    God, tell me the reason, please.

“My son, to complete your love-room,
    I need more satisfaction-power.
    Unfortunately
    I have run short of it.

“My son, in order to start working
    On your devotion-room,
    I need more determination-power.
    Unfortunately
    Right now I don’t have it.

“My son, you want Me to build
    Your surrender-room.
    Believe Me,
    I am desperately searching
    For My patience-power.”
