GOD DOES NOT ASK US ANYTHING THAT HE HAS NOT GIVEN US BEFORE: “WE LOVE BECAUSE GOD HIMSELF LOVED US FIRST” (1 JN 4:19). HE IS NOT INDIFFERENT TO US. HE CARRIES EACH OF US IN HIS HEART, HE KNOWS US BY NAME, HE TAKES CARE OF US AND HE LOOKS FOR US WHEN WE ABANDON HIM. HE IS INTERESTED IN EACH OF US; HIS LOVE PREVENTS HIM FROM BEING INDIFFERENT TO WHAT HAPPENS TO US. BUT IT MAY BE THAT WHEN WE ARE WELL AND COMFORTABLE, WE FORGET TO THINK OF OTHERS (WHICH GOD THE FATHER NEVER DOES), WE NO LONGER CARE ABOUT THEIR PROBLEMS, THEIR SUFFERING AND THE INJUSTICES THEY SUFFER. OUR HEARTS ARE FALLING INTO INDIFFERENCE: WHILE I AM DOING RELATIVELY WELL AND EVERYTHING IS WORKING FOR ME, I FORGET THOSE WHO ARE NOT DOING WELL. THIS SELFISH ATTITUDE HAS NOW TAKEN ON A GLOBAL DIMENSION, TO THE POINT THAT WE CAN TALK ABOUT A GLOBALIZATION OF INDIFFERENCE. THIS IS AN UNEASE THAT WE CHRISTIANS MUST FACE.
