Divine Relationships Shaped by Our Choices
God’s relationship with people is not formed randomly, but based on how each person lives, the deeds they perform, and the inner qualities they demonstrate. In one source it is stated directly: "Our way of life, inner constitution, external circumstances, thoughts, desires, and actions, along with our attitude toward God and people, determine God's attitude toward us." (source: link txt) This means that God's attitude toward a person is defined not by abstract laws, but by the real life of each individual. Through our choices, thoughts, and actions, we create the foundation on which God manifests His attitude toward us.Furthermore, another text emphasizes that the differences in God's mercy are linked precisely to personal abilities and tendencies, as well as to the acceptance or rejection of Divine mercy through free choice: "God creates all people with different abilities and tendencies, and each, by taking responsibility for their choices, determines whether they will receive God's mercy or become hardened before Him."

It is through these aspects that each of us receives our unique relationship from God, based on manifested love, responsibility, and spiritual strength.Supporting citation(s): "Our way of life, inner constitution, external circumstances, thoughts, desires, and actions, along with our attitude toward God and people, determine God's attitude toward us."
