If we had proof of the existence of heaven, and thus of God, this would remove our free choice as effectively as if God prevented us from doing evil. You may see clues from time to time, but you will have no proof. God wants ux to come to him as free creatures, out of love, not because proof compels us to believe.

I suppose so, I am coming to God now but I have periodically recurring doubts and insecurities because I haven’t figured out why He waits so long to intervene in so many lives and why he doesn’t intervene in everyone’s lives form birth.
