I like Sundar Singh's thoughts... particularly how he gets that God is the source of even our desire to know Him.... Great thoughts this Advent season... - DRS
Sadhu Sundar Singh:
All of us have a natural,
inborn desire to see God. But God is infinite and incomprehensible. No
one can see God without being of the same infinite nature as God. We are
finite, and so we cannot see God. But God is love. He is also the
source of our craving to know and love him.
Out
of this love God took on a form that is comprehensible to us mortal
beings. Through this act of love we can now share in the joy of the
angels by seeing and knowing God directly. This is why Jesus said:
“Whoever has seen me has seen the Father.”
God
knows well your inner state – every person’s inner state – and reveals
himself to each heart in accordance with its needs. There is no better
way for a person to enter true spiritual life than by encountering God
directly. God became man and dwelt among us so that we might not fear
him as something terrible and foreign, but instead see that God is love.
