I

The grace, love, and mercy that God shows man are not merely a kind of attitude—they are a fact, as well. It's that God puts His words within you, enlightening you, so that you may see what is lovely about Him, and what this world is all about, so that your heart is filled with light, allowing you to understand His words and the truth. In this way, without knowing it, you gain the truth. God does so much work on you in a very real way, enabling you to gain the truth.

II

When you gain the truth, when you gain that most precious thing which is eternal life, God's intentions are satisfied. When God sees that people are pursuing the truth and willing to cooperate with Him, He is happy and contented. He is then of an attitude, and while He is of that attitude, He goes to work, and approves of and blesses man. And then you'll have gained the truth and the life. When you have knowledge of the Creator and you've gained His appreciation, you won't feel an emptiness in your heart; you'll feel fulfilled and have a sense of enjoyment. This is the most valuable and meaningful life.
