Efforts - alone can take us closer to God

11/03/2017

Because God is so great, he neither concerns himself with the mistakes and malice of human beings, nor does he vary according to their behaviour. Therefore, if you feel worried or rejected because you have behaved badly, do not claim that God has withdrawn or that he has rejected you. Instead, make an effort and rectify your mistakes and you will once again feel close to him. Above all, do not wait for God to forgive you: he has not condemned you, so he has nothing to forgive you for. No purpose is served by beating your breast and saying, ‘I am a sinner. I am a sinner.’ Since you had the power to create the clouds that deprive you of God’s light, you also have the power to disperse them. Everything depends on you, on your attitude. What good do all the advancements in psychology serve if human beings are not able to analyse these vitally important states they experience, to understand them and correct them?
