Jackie, I hate to be the comma police that hauls you in, but you can't put a comma there. What you've made is an egregious sentence fragment, and the post-comma conjunction implies that there are two wholly realized thoughts that are being linked together. Hmmm... I'm not saying this well at all. My 8th grade English teacher shamed me publicly by calling me "comma happy", and she made me learn all the arcania of comma-radery (or maybe it was comma-nism). The only way a comma would be grammatically correct is if there were a subject on the other side of the conjunction, a la: "...our Creator has entered into our hearts, and She lives in a way..." Gratuitous feminism alert

I'm fully in accordance with your analysis, though J. It was only through your keen observation that I was swayed ~ I initially was completely convinced it had to be a verb!
