458. A sea of smiles
Divine Lord Supreme,How is it that You have given me
Trouble after trouble,
An endless series of troubles?
“Child, since you think and feel
That I am the only and real culprit,
Then the best thing is
For you to offer them back to Me.
I shall gladly accept them.”
Divine Lord Supreme,
How is it that I smile and smile
And have become a sea of smiles?
Who made me so?
For God’s sake, You have to tell me the truth!
“Child, for God’s sake,
I am telling you the absolute truth.
Ah, don’t you know that your divine smiles
Are the great and unchallenged contributions
Of your devoted heart and surrendered life?”
