They can never let go and turn both eyes to God. Flowing from these reasons is the desire that some of us have to be able to pat ourselves on the back. We want to do things the hard way, to merit what we get, to earn our own way, to stand on our own two feet. In the end the only thing that matters with God is love. God is love.
Love is the response of the heart to the good.
If we insist that God con-tract himself to fit within the limits of the concepts of our minds or the images of our imagination, our love will not greatly expand. Anything that our minds can master can hardly call us forth from ourselves in contemplation. God's call to personal friendship is universal. He stands knocking at the door of the heart of every human person. We know from our own experience the freedom of friendship.
