God: Come to me.
Man: No
God: ok
Man takes a walk, and sees many pretty things. He sees a lot of games, that look very very fun to play. He wants to play.. He plays a while. Man, this is good!! He continues, "It's really good!!!" Man feels excited. Suddenly he gets a cut. "Ow!" It's a small cut.. it will heal in time. Man continues to play. Mmmm, fun."Ah!" He is cut again, this time the cut is deeper. "this is not very good" he thinks. But I enjoy playing!! He continues to play. Suddenly he is bruised very bad, and it hurts. This is not good. He is sad. He sits in front of a fire, and it is very intersting, amazing, exciting his senses. He wants to touch it, but he is still scared of experiencing pain, like he did before. He approuches, hesitating. He reaches his hand, shaking, and puts his finger in the fire. "Aaaaah!!!" His finger is burnt and it turns black. He is angry, and is crying. He takes a few steps back and looks into the fire. He becomes quiet and a thought crosses his mind. He remembers that once God said to him, “come to me.”. Suddenly the fire becomes bigger, very big, more than his own body. It says, "Come!" And he stand up and comes. He is fascinated by the fire, and can't resist its hold on him. He walks into it, and gets burnt very hard, and he is hurt, it is excruciating. He goes back and shouts at the fire “Why are you doing this? I am burnt, and it hurts...” the fire says, I'm not doing anything, it is you who comes to me. Why do you even come if I am so painful to the touch? Man says, “Because you are so beautiful” The fire bacomes smaller, and it is worried about Man. It does not want Man to get injured from it. It says “Man, I have an idea. Let's make a decision. You will use me as you please, but you must never ever touch me.” Man agrees. He is happy that the fire helps him. He becomes quieter inside, and remembers that once upon a time, God said “come to me.” God appears, and says to Man: “Man, you are Here!!” And Man is joyful. God asks, “What happened?”
Man: I was playing with fire, but I got burned, and now I am tired of playing with it.
God: Do you wish to come now?
Man: Yes :)
God: Great!!! Come :)
Man is happy, he is released. But it was a very long journey, and he is tired. He sits, lies down, and falls asleep.
He dreams of a very big heart, inside which, God in the shape of Man, is sitting and thinking.

That's nice, I read it again and understood some things I did not before about this story.... It flowed out, for example the last line, I did not understand it completely when written. Now it is much clearer!
