A desperate person praying..no background or exposure really in church things...
a life of struggle, beatings, neglect..
maybe a homeless guy now...dirty, toothless, still struggling;
has no time for 'love'...just finding shelter at night...and is grateful to the kind folks at the shelters....
a decent, but lonely, sad guy, wouldn't hurt anyone....
He has no love to speak of...but plenty of depression and fear of robbers in the night...
But, one day he actually prays to this 'God' that he heard about.
He has a small bit of faith and hope ...faith the size of a mustard seed ...does anyone really think
the scenario above holds any water that, "God does not interact to faith were love is absent...''?
Careful now, you might just upset the apple cart. Peace

Do you truly know the depth of this homeless persons love for others.
Because you painted a picture of him having no time for love at all?

You say he has no love to speak of, and yet he has experienced love, has he not, from the "kind folks" at the shelters? It is their loving kindness, I would say, that has given him the ability to hope and have faith, because through them he became aware of love.
Love can never be absent, Miss H, if God IS love. It is just a matter of becoming aware of it.

Perhaps he will will have enough faith and hope to experience love. Of the three love is eternal, while faith and hope are needed only here in our flesh.
