🌙 Let’s taste the sweetness of God’s Banquet. (7)
👉🏼 A banquet by force? How could that be?!
🔸Sometimes when a person really likes to invite another person to his home, it is as if he wants to force the other person, deprive him from having any choice, and invite him by #force. He tells the other person, “You are invited to my house tomorrow. No excuses are accepted! Be ready at ‘such and such’ time. I will come after you by car. Bye!” If he likes him much more than this, he may even say you don’t come, I’ll never forgive you!”
🔸 Actually, God says, “O human being! Whether you want it or not, whether you are awake or sleeping, the month of #Ramadan, My #Banquet, comes and surrounds you with its blessings and mercy, and you are forced to participate in My Banquet.” God’s forcing us is due to his severe interest in hosting His servants. He likes to host His servants so much that He has made it obligatory for everyone to participate in it, and He has not given people the opportunity to make a decision about it.

👉🏼 A forced banquet is a combination of God’s affection and greatness.
🔸No matter how much #God has waited for us to move towards Him ourselves, we have not gone to Him. Therefore, He has invited us Himself so that this fondness will grow in us and we will not be afraid anymore. This is so that in the future He can bring us back to Himself again using this good memory we will have and pull us to return to be able to repeat this sweet experience. to return to be able to repeat this sweet experience.
🔸 A forced banquet is a combination of God’s #affection and #greatness, which He has towards His servants. God has given us enough freedom and choice to become good, but we have ruined this opportunity so much that it is time for us to accept for God to pull us a step towards Himself. Of course, He will release us again a little later.
🔸If anyone thinks that it was better if this #Banquet was optional, let him come when the month of #Ramadan is finishing and stop the #tears of the people who have fasted and of God’s guests who were forced to come. It is not true that #force is never beautiful or suitable. Sometimes in the highest degrees of affection in the lives of us human beings, force is beautiful.
