But there seems to be a brother who doesn't have the same feeling of a loving God being near and hugging you. Here we read: ... but there might be a relationship problem. To stay in the picture: maybe this guy already interacted with her. Maybe she asked him some day: "what did you do yesterday" - he replied "I went for a walk" and maybe she then replied "oh, I'm taking you metaphorically: 'to go' means certainly 'to stay' and 'for a walk' certainly means 'at home' - ah you stayed at home?" In this case, communicating with her is a sheer horror - but still: the girl is a lovely girl he'd love to know more. These days many people tend to take Bible verses allegorically... even in instances where no such thing as an allegory is indicated in the Bible. This could be the case in individual relationships with God: people over-allegorize everything in the Bible and God doesn't want to be misunderstood, that's why he ceases to talk to everybody individually? It could be this problem in this case... but there might be other reasons, too. Regards, Thomas We must not let other people do our thinking for us.
