The Inspirer once roamed the poor alleys of the country. In those dark alleys, she saw beggars, orphans, sick people, lonely people, those who knew no other existence but the darkness in which they trod.

Seeing their plight and feeling their sufferings as her own, the Inspirer's heart broke within her and she felt like all the world was no more. There is no hope, no relief, no salvation. There is only a blackhole pulling ever inwards, contracting within its vacuum the emptiness that cannot even speak itself.

The Inspirer felt lost in the abyss, lost with all the hungry souls that cannot be fed. How can they ever find their way? How can even a flicker of life arise from where these people are?

The Inspirer was without her Defender, yet she must fight the gloom that crept at her soul. She was the only one in there who has ever known warmth, who has ever been acquainted with hope and joy and love.

She paused and steadied her breath. She prayed. And when she looked up at last upon the heavens, there she found her answer. For there, there shone the brightest stars she has ever seen!

All is not lost after all. Even in the darkness, there is a light to guide the way.

The Inspirer asks, “Why are so many people in gloom today? Why the many down-trodden hearts?”

The Visionary replies, “It is because people are not able to receive the blessings our good God wishes to bestow upon them.”

Why is this so? How could they not receive such blessings being showered everywhere?”

Because people do not believe.”

What is it that they cannot believe?”

The Visionary paused. It was as if a certain sadness bit his heart. He knew the answer, but the words are not the words he wishes to speak to such a sensitive soul.

But the Inspirer persisted, “What is it? I need to know so I'd know where to start.”

The Visionary finally replied, “These people do not believe in two things. First, they do not believe God's blessings are everywhere and within their reach. Second, they do not believe themselves worthy of such blessings.”

Tears fell down the Inspirer's eyes. She felt pity for her people and wept. The Inspirer knew however that she must not give up her task. Despite everything said, she knew she must BELIEVE.

After defeating a great number of enemies, the Defender came to the Inspirer feeling beaten and lost.

I am not fit to be your Defender. I am evil as I often let myself succumb to anger. Today, I have defeated a hundred men in my rage, yet I have almost killed an innocent mother and her child,” the Defender confessed.

The Inspirer's eyes were kind and full of understanding as she replied, “You are not evil. You are a fighter, a warrior of righteousness, and it is but natural for you to feel anger towards unrighteous deeds. Anger is not evil. It merely guides you and alerts you against injustices that defy your conscience. It also gives you strength to fight that injustice, to have the needed courage for the moment and not be afraid.”

Be alert of two things about anger however. Do not let it remain longer than necessary because it will consume you. Secondly, do not let it encroach upon your freedom such that you already do things you do no wish to do.”

Be more powerful than your anger. Use your weapons wisely and do not be used by them.”

"Tell them that no soul that has called
upon My mercy has been disappointed
or brought to shame."

I cannot punish even the greatest sinner if he makes an appeal to My compassion, but on the contrary, I justify him in My unfathomable and inscrutable mercy.

"I will never turn away anyone who comes to me..." - John 6:37
