He does not make us love Him because He wants us to choose to love Him. Would you prefer to be feared and be the reciever of false love, or would you wish to be the reciever of true love?
Are you saying that the Source of all Love would not be automatically loved by us once He revealed Himself? Is that an indication by you that you feel He is not able to earn (for lack of a better word) our love in the same way our parents do...through demonstration of caring and nurturing?
Pehaps not; since both Daniel, Isaiah and John felt complete fear in the presence of God....righteousness as filthy rags and all that.
Couldn't He just show up and create some food or take care of our hurts thus demonstrating how He cares? Show love and you get love.
Doesn't seem that tough to me.
I think His hiding out must have a different reason than just worry about people faking their love for Him.
