Thousands of years ago, Prophet Moses was crossing the Sinai Desert when he encountered a man who asked Moses where he was going. Moses told him he was going to Mount Tur to speak with God. The man asked him to convey a message to God for him.
He said, 'Tell your Lord that I am very angry with him! Tell Him that He should be ashamed of Himself. I do not want to be His servant, and I do not want Him to be my Lord! I do not want His sustenance, food, health, or assistance! He can keep them for Himself! I am very disappointed in Him, and I do not want anything to do with Him!"
Moses did not want to convey this message, but after communing with God, God asked him to tell what He knew there was to tell.
After Moses relayed the message, God replied, 'Moses, hasten to this man. Send him My peace and greetings. Tell him that even if he does not love His Lord, his Lord still loves him. Even if he does not care about Me, I care about him. I am not doing him a favor by providing for him, this is my obligation. He may be ashamed of being My servant, but I am not ashamed of being his Lord. I still want him to return to Me and will welcome him back whenever He decides to return."
Moses ran to tell this message to the man. When the man heard it, he fell to the ground and cried out, "Oh God, I thought You hated me. Now, I know that You are my true friend."
