Isaac of Ninevah

I really like the first paragraph, God love in unconditional and never ending. I like to think that he'll never stop loving us no matter how much we sin or drift away, as long as we come back to him we'll always have a spot in his heart. And that kind of love is hard to find, not even all parents can love their children that way.
I liked the second paragraph as well. Especially when he says "who gives us more than we ourselves could ask for or even imagine." Maybe if we can see the big picture, everything God gives us in life, all of the blessings and difficulties, are meant to be to make us better people. The difficulties are actually blessings, we just have to trust God enough and let things happen and take whatever experience we can from it. He makes a good point, most people only pray when they want something, but no one ever prays to thank him except on Thanksgiving. The truth is everyday should be treated like Thanksgiving, thank God for every day and everything in life, give thanks for even having a life and having the people in that life. But it's very hard to trust God with our whole heart and not ask for things in our prayers, we're human and all we do is think about things we want, but I think we should try and remember to thank God at least once every day. And if we could stop asking for things, I think that goes along with that hes saying in the third paragraph about humility, "When he is completely hidden to himself in himself, he is completely with God." We should stop wanting and starting thanking and being more humble, and that way we can be closer to God.
