Many
people came to see a famous musician. He
performed a song. The song told of God
undergoing an inspection of His quarters and His work by a host of angels. The angels were critical in their
inspection. When the song was over, many
people cried “Heresy!” at the idea of angels standing in judgment of God. The musician waited for quiet. Then he said, “Do you think God loves the
angels any less for their criticisms? Do
you not imaging that God says to us, as we pray to Him, ‘This I am, but thou
please aid me’?* Do you not see
that God is asking, ‘What canst thou say’?”
