If God “knows” that you’re looking for him then why doesn’t he meet you halfway?

He does. Sometimes he goes further than that.

God meets us more than halfway. But we are so used to our arrogance and presumption, that we are totally blind to all that God has given to us and done for us. So many of us adults have remain spoiled brats all our lives, who do not see all that our parents did for us, and every time there is a problem, it is always the fault of the parents. The parents are always accused of not doing enough. We have remain “perfect” and “holy” little brats. Without true gratitude, it is impossible to spend eternity with God. We must find the humility to see things from God’s point of view instead of always from our self-centered point of view.

The saints in heaven, who see how much God loves each person and each angel, tell us: “If the angels were capable of envy, they would envy us for two things: one is the receiving of Holy Communion, and the other is suffering” (Diary of St. Faustina, no. 1804)! The strongest way of loving a person is to suffer for the person; this is why the angels are envious of us because we can suffer with Jesus which is the greatest way to love Jesus.

The people of the generation of ’68, who are in power today, thought they would find happiness and freedom by throwing out all rules and regulations, rejecting all authority and God, but they unwittingly fell under the dominion of the “prince of this world”, Satan (Jn 12:31; 14:30; Rev 12:9), who they believe does not exist! Unfortunately, the great majority of the people of the generation of ’68 did not receive true Christian love from their parents!
