Hold me like the scripture
God holds me in his hands
I don't act for him
He understands
Words are our orders and blessings never made
Images conclave but none are elected
All there was and is is like invisibility to God
Everything done has to be released from his pain.
Yet God is himself and I am myself.
Words are blessings always granted.
We don't need God or blessings initially because we are not made needy, we desire want to achieve something either for God or for ourselves only when either of those things are threatened.
We learn about threat to become jealous of Gods needs and desires in order to follow order and blessing requests from other souls and sometimes God himself.
God doesn't need words or images to achieve this however, it is part of the fabric of existence.
Gods understanding is just the way it is, just as your understanding is just the way it is.
