We're talking about a destructive passion. The love of God is like explosive material handed to babies.
*
This is not a sanctioned relationship and nobody approves of it. No one who takes the least thought for your welfare, your comfort, is anything but disturbed. God is the wrong match for you, darling -- everyone agrees. The ladies sit and talk about it. Your family, your teachers, your counselors, your friends, the person who writes editorials for the New York Times -- they all, there are no exceptions, not one, all of them try to dissuade you before it's too late. It's a life decision --
And even your enemies are dismayed to see you enter so violent a relationship!
He will hurt you really bad, they say.
Right -- you answer. And now you're going to tell me that God will leave me too.
No they say. Not that. You'll be in pain and begging to be left to your selfish idleness, alone. You will beg, it won't be pretty. But no, he won't listen to you -- he is always faithful -- he will never leave you or let you down. Can you even bear such love? We really doubt it!
