Description of this motif: God's mercy is, like Luther argued, in Andersen's oeuvre only effective, if it is received in faith. It is indeed only given to those, who believe and are humble.
Example :
Folks say that the age of miracles is past, but that is not true. The age of miracles is still with us, in our souls; it is there that revelations come to man. Although the world may seem arid and desolate, God's fountain of mercy spouts forth within it. Life flourishes, and through inspired music, through poetry and science, God will unfold miracles for us until the Judgment Day.
