God doesn’t expect from me what I don’t have. God doesn’t need our love because He is love. And he spreads love. God waits for us to receive his love. Just that. And my gift to him is my answer to His love. But he doesn’t need my gift. Or else, I would think He gets mad as easy as I do and that I need to comfort Him. This is not the Spirit.

How can God ask from me what I don’t have and how can I ask from somebody else what he doesn’t have? This is the root of all crimes.

We are in an extreme need and God wants to fulfil our needs, and His gifts come in abundance.

I need to discover and believe that God is love and he wants my salvation, He wants me to be happy and to live through love. Through this belief I will cure my mind and correct it when it thinks psychologically: “Do I deserve? Don’t I deserve?” The love of God is infinite and we can have access to it for free. What we need to do is to struggle to deserve it and enjoy it.
