I

For mankind, each time a new stage of God's work is accomplished, and each time God feels gratified, that's when mankind can come closer to God and come closer to salvation. To God, this is also the launch of His new work, forging onward in His management plan, and, moreover, these are the times when His intentions approach complete fulfillment. For mankind, the arrival of such an opportunity is fortunate, and very good; for all those who await the salvation of God, it is momentous and joyous news.

When God carries out a new stage of work, then He has a new beginning, and when this new work and new beginning are launched and introduced among mankind, it's when the outcome of this stage of work has been determined and accomplished and the final effect and fruit already seen by God. This is also when these effects make God feel satisfied, and, of course, it's when His heart is happy.

God feels reassured because, in His eyes, He has already seen and determined the people He is looking for, and has already gained this group of people, a group that is able to make His work successful and bring Him satisfaction. In other words, when God's flesh is able to embark upon new work among man, and He begins to do the work that He must do without obstruction, and when He feels that all has been accomplished, then for Him, the end is already in sight. Because of this He is satisfied, and His heart is happy.
