I was quickly stopped by a single phrase and I am struggling working past it. The phrase by Muhammed is this, "My sevant does not cease to come near Me until I love him; and when I love him, I am the sight he sees with and the hearing he hears with and the hand he recieves with and the foot he walks with."
I thought that He loves us no matter what. I believe that we see from His eyes and hear with His ears, but sometimes we ignore Him. But as the prodigal son was unconditionaly loved so are we. All we have to do is surrender to Him and we shall have the Kingdom of God.
The surrendering is the only commonality that I found in this group of writings by this man. I know this because I have closed myself off due to this statement.
Iwent back to read this group of writings and then I find the "We". Is this "We" the trinity? I don't understand Islam.

I also, had a question about that, but the thought of "surrender to Him" is very broad. It could be thought in many ways, the way we live, etc. Good job on the blog.
ReplyDeleteI agree, I always thought that God loved us no matter what. Even if we don't surrender everything, I think God still loves us and wants whats best for us. I'm also confused about what he wants us to surrender exactly.
ReplyDelete"My servant does not cease to come near me" means that he always comes near; "until I love him" means - Enlightenment! Yay! And then the happily ever after: "I am the sight he sees with and the hearing he hears with and the hand he receives with and the foot he walks with."
