[QUOTE="A_Thinker, post: 73070643, member: 33387"] Something that occurred to me ... God desires our LOVE, ... and RELATIONSHIP and FELLOWSHIP with Him. So ... God is wooing us ... with His LOVE, as opposed to His grandeur, power, majesty, etc. That way ... if we choose to LOVE Him, ... we are LOVING Him as a response to His LOVE for us, rather than being awestruck by all/any of His other qualities. For instance, what binds my wife and I together is our LOVE for one another. Are there other things that we LIKE about each other. Of course, ... but LOVE is the only thing that we can count on to last a lifetime. So, perhaps God HIDES all but the core of His nature when He comes to us in Christ. Because He wants to know that we will love Him for Who He really is, without all the glory that surrounds Him. If God made more ostentatious displays of His power and glory, ... He might unfortunately draw those who really do not LOVE Him, and are only there for the show. [/QUOTE]
