True Love

How many a good thing has He given you! How many a favour has He granted you! He is your Lord and Guardian who created you, to whom your life and your death belong, who gives you to eat and drink, who provides and looks after you, who shelters you, and gives you refuge. He sees your ugly behavior and conceals it; you ask Him to forgive you and He does so, and He sees your righteous behaviour and increase and manifests it. You obey Him by His providence and aid and He mentions your name in the unseen, and casts respect and love for you in to the hearths of others. You disobey Him using His favours, yet disobedience does not make Him withhold His favour. H ow can you love other than this Generous God? Or how could you disobey this compassionate Lord?
