CHOICE  

You have to trust the author.

You have to believe that God has a good reason for subtlety.

He allows frail human beings the capacity for choice that

we would never have in his obvious presence.

God wants to be known, but not to overwhelm us.

Rather, love freely chosen. 

God moves incognito...the master of disguise.

When God did appear, he did not look like Michelangelo's painting.

He had no majesty that we should be attracted to him.

Men "despised and rejected him."
