Loving God ENOUGH is the key to everything: the ONLY key. We need two things: Desire and Realization. First, the constant, intense Desire to be better than we are, to be the very best we can be, to be one with God, perfectly and eternally. And we can never be satisfied with anything less -- with the poor little toys and lusts that the infantile world chooses and plays with and sets its empty mind on. And then we need Realization: The realization of our utter helplessness and weakness and need -- that we can do nothing of ourselves. All is of God. Face it: the whole universe is of God, and is God. He is everywhere and everything. If we run from Him, or cross Him, He will destroy us. He must. He is perfect goodness, and must in the fulness of time abolish everything out of harmony with Himself. Only perfect goodness can be eternal. If we run to Him, He will accept and love us, and absorb us to Himself. He will bless us. He will glorify us. He will lift us up to His Own divine nature. Is there any question of the choice to make?
