Indeed, of all people, the severest of sufferings and afflictions are faced by the Prophets, and after them, by others in proportion to their degree of merit.
Be obediant to God and remember Him with love. He wants to embrace you with His forgiveness and to conceal your faults with His kindness, so do not turn your back on Him.
How Great, Mighty Generous God is, and how weak we are but still so bold to disobey Him although we live under His protection and we undergo changes in life in the expense of His kindness.
...Revel in pleasure while your life endures
And deck your head with myrrh. Be richly clad
In white and perfumed linen; like the gods
Anointed be; and never weary grow
In eager quest of what your heard desires -
Do as it prompts you...
