Many people believe that they are attracted by God, or by Nature, when they are only repelled by man.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When one has love for God, one doesn't feel any physical attraction to wife, children, relatives and friends. One retains only compassion for them.
I began to realize that when people experience the love of God, it casts out their fear and frees them from guilt.
Attraction is beyond our will or ideas sometimes.
So many people don't know that God loves them. They feel, 'Why would God love me? Why would He be interested in me?'
God can desire to enter into a relationship with us; he can be drawn to some aspect of our identity.
Attraction is what happens between you. It's not universal. And it's not conventional. And thank God for that.
Nature is a good name for an effect whose cause is God.
God, to redeem us at the deepest portion of our nature - the urge to love and be loved - must reveal His nature in an incredible and impossible way. He must reveal it at a cross.
Nothing in human nature is so God-like as the disposition to do good to our fellow-creatures.
To be sure, the response of faith to revelation, which God grants to the creature he chooses and moves with his love, occurs in such a way that it is truly the creature that provides the response, with its own nature and its natural powers of love.
