On Relationship to God

On relationship to God.
Jesus said,
“Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. 
If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, 
I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.”
                                                     Revelations 3:20
The following are some comments I’ve found about some people and their relationship to God.
C. S. Lewis said,
“He (God) shows much more of Himself to some people than to others not because He has favourites, but because it is impossible for Him to show Himself to a man whose whole mind and character are in the wrong condition.”  C.S.Lewis
An unknown author writes,
“Maybe the atheist cannot find God
 for the same reason a thief cannot find a policeman.” 
                                                                  Author Unknown
Thomas Aquinas writes,
To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. 
To one without faith, no explanation is possible. 
                                                          Thomas Aquinas
Blaise Pascal writes,
“In faith there is enough light for those who want to believe
 and enough shadows to blind those who don't.”
                                                      Blaise Pascal
The bottom line when it comes to God is you first must have faith, that He indeed exists. The writer of Hebrews stating,
“And without faith it is impossible to please God,
 because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists 
and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” 
                                                                       Hebrews 11:6.
The other thing is we must be actively seeking God in order to truly find Him.
Jesus said,
“So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you;
 seek and you will find; 
knock and the door will be opened to you.  
For everyone who asks receives; 
he who seeks finds; 
and to him who knocks, 
the door will be opened. 
                           Luke 11:9,10
Please think about it.
