Godly People I say it repeatedly that you should try to win the pleasure of God, for, if God is kind to you the whole world will be kind and if He is annoyed, nobody can avail you anything. When His wrath descends none in the world will show kindness to you even though you may try to deceive the people in various ways - by making use of rosary or dyeing your clothes yellow or green; the people will take it to be a mean thing. Even if the world is deceived for a few days, the glamour will go and the people will be disillusioned. But he who comes from God, the world will not succeed in its plans of opposition, however great the opposition. The people may call him names and curse him but a time will come when the world will turn to him and will openly admit his truthfulness. I tell you the truth that for whoever God is, the world also becomes his. Of course it is quite true that those who come from God are in the beginning opposed by the people and they are troubled and stumbling blocks placed in their way. Never a messenger or a prophet has come to the world who was not put to hardships. Everyone of them has been called a cheat, fraudulent and a business (i.e. his claim is nothing short of exploiting the people and a means of extracting money from them). But despite the fact that millions of people wanted to shoot arrows at them, threw stones at them, abused them, they did not care a fig for all this. There was nothing that could stand in their way. They continued reciting the word of God to the people. They continued delivering the message which they had brought from God and they did not leave any stone unturned to see their message reach their people. The trials and tribulations which they were meted out by their people (who did not believe in them) did not make them slack rather it added to their speed till the time came when God made their difficulties easy and the opponents began to realise the truth of the matter. At that time the opponents came to them and fell at their feet and admitted openly that their claim was based on truth.
The hearts are in the hands of God and whenever He will, He changes them.
