Only the Creator feels tender love for this mankind. Only the Creator shows this mankind tender affection. Only the Creator holds a true affection for this mankind that's difficult to sever. Likewise, only the Creator can bestow mercy on this mankind, and only He cherishes all of His created beings.

His heart is pulled along with every one of man's actions: He's angered, distressed and grieved over man's wickedness and corruption; He feels pleased and joyful and has a change of heart and rejoices over man's repentance, belief, and submission; every single one of His thoughts and ideas exists for and revolves around mankind; what He is and has is expressed entirely for mankind's sake; the entirety of His emotions are intertwined with mankind's existence.

III

For mankind's sake, He travels and rushes about; He silently gives forth every bit of His life; He dedicates every minute and second of His life…. He has never known how to treasure His own life, yet He has always cherished the mankind He Himself created…. He gives all that He has to this humanity…. He grants His mercy and tolerance unconditionally and without expectation of recompense. He does this only so that mankind can continue to survive before His eyes and under His provision of life. He does this only so that mankind may one day surrender before Him and come to recognize that He's the One who nourishes man's existence and supplies the life of all creation.
