My God, I read an old interview with this journalist in which he states that people who do not believe and do not have such a clear picture of God are sometimes closer to God than people who believe, who are more concerned with their image of God than with God Itself. Would You like to comment on this?
That’s allright.
God sees in the hearts of people and in their minds, and then it can
turn out there that an unbelieving person is more open to the mystery of life,
to the intuition, to the signals that God gives through his heart than a
believer is.For example, a believer can be very concerned with the fear of hell, of a punishing God, of the imperfections of life and, therefore not acknowledging God's love for man.
But we compare apples to oranges. It remains a fact that an unbeliever
misses the basis of existence, the core of life, the great purpose on earth,
namely living in and from God and recognizing God as the only Cause. That is really
something.
So you can easily compare a loving believer with a loveless unbeliever
as well, then you won't be happy with the differences either.
The moral of the story is that man is more different than he seems to be,
that the opposition of believer and unbeliever is more nuanced than people
think and that God welcomes loving unbelievers with more joy than hateful
believers. For sure.
But let the moral of this story be that you should never compare people
to each other, because always will be someone the victim. Leave man alone and
leave the estimating weighting of his life to God.
Meanwhile, Jacques Suurmond is blessed for his openness.
My blessings to you all
