The perfection of God is a source of sweetest consolation to us, in our feebleness and foolishness.
神的完全是我们在软弱和愚昧中最甜美的安慰之源。
If He were not Omniscient, we might suffer and He not know.
若祂不是全知的，我们可能受苦而祂不知晓。
If He were not Omnipresent, we might cry and He not hear.
若祂不是无所不在的，我们可能哭泣而祂听不见。
If He were not Omnipotent, we might perish and He be unable to help.
若祂不是全能的，我们可能灭亡而祂无力相助。
If He were not good, He would not care for us, or might crush us.
若祂不是良善的，祂就不会眷顾我们，或可能会压碎我们。
“He is the Rock, His works are perfect, and all His ways are just.” Deut. 32:4
“祂是磐石，祂的作为完全，祂所行的无不公平。”申命记 32:4
Though the Lord is exalted, yet He has regard unto the humble. He has not despised the affliction of His afflicted children, nor hid His face from them.
虽然主被尊崇，祂仍眷顾卑微的人。祂没有轻视受苦之儿女的苦难，也没有向他们掩面。
I am poor and needy, yet the Lord thinks upon me. Put my tears into Your bottle.
我虽贫穷困苦，主仍顾念我。求把我的眼泪装在您的瓶中。
