True, God knows our hearts and why we turn to Him. My own personal journey was trying to live a life outside of God. I found I could not make sense of things, before turning to Scriptures.

Now it is clear.

I was blind, but now I see.

Scriptures says non-believers will test my faith that God is absurd.

It is similar to Military indoctrination. God breaks us down to our most common denominator, before building us up. In God's eyes, no one is better than another. Having more material possessions does not make one a better person than another. For if we define ourselves in Worldly terms, by our shells, we will only find emptiness in the end. Look at the booming industry of plastic surgery, and botox. Many are not accepting the natural progression of our physical selves. Many seek to prolong physical beauty. God does not care about this. He cares about our spiritual selves, our souls. So while we all must live in the physical World, to conclude that this is all there is will ultimately lead to disillusionment and emptiness. A cup that is never filled. Only the blood of Christ, who died for us can truly sustain us, can truly nuture us. The statistics bear this out, a rising rate of divorce and foreclosures, a rising rate of indebtedness to credit cards. Many try to live above their means, they don't want to fall behind the rest of the material World. Their self-worth is tied to careers and possessions. Many die shortly after retiring from careers. They no longer have purpose because their purpose was their work. Many fall into deep depressions when losing a spouse through death or through divorce. Their self-worth was found in relationships.

Yes, to me God makes perfect sense. I'll take my invisible "sky Daddy" any day over what is being offered up today as the "pursuit of Happiness".
