1. God has walked among you for several years and lived among you for a long time. Your heartfelt words are constantly ringing in God’s ears, and you have laid upon God’s altar thousands upon thousands and even countless resolutions, but you have not consecrated or expended anything anything for him and have not put any sincerity on his altar. Where is the fruit of your belief in God?

2. You have received endless grace from God and seen countless heavenly mysteries, and God even shows the flames of fire of heaven to you and yet does not have the heart to burn you. But how much have you given God in return? God has selflessly bestowed everything to you has selflessly bestowed everything to you so that you have received from him everything brought by him from heaven though you suffer. However, you have consecrated nothing to him at all. What you consecrate to God is merely a grain of the sand, but what you demand of him is ten thousand tales of gold ten thousand tales of gold. Aren’t you being unreasonable? Aren’t you being unreasonable?
