- "reveal himself to me"
- "my life became far richer and more valuable"

"Reveal himself" is one of those nebulous terms Christians use so often and never define. For example;
Quote:

So the key to knowing God's will is to be obedient to the guidance of the Holy Spirit of truth. If you are willing to trust and obey God and live a holy life, God will reveal Himself to you and direct your steps as a way of life.

Step 6 - Obedience
I used the term figuring Christians would find it familiar. I'm actually pleased you questioned it. It's a nonsensical concept without any precise definition.
My life became richer because I quit trying to perceive
the hand of god in everything and learned to appreciate nature and other people for what they are. I stopped attempting to shoehorn reality into the constraints of religious belief. Religion is very limiting and biased. It colors your perception of reality and blinds you to the natural beauty of life. My life became more valuable when I gave up the silly notion that I'd get more life after this one. When I finally grasped the fact that death is it (as far as I can determine without having to rely on blind faith), I began to value every moment so much more than I had before. I realized that every second that passes will never come again, every missed opportunity to help another or share my feelings for them is gone forever, every beautiful moment has to be savored and appreciated as much as I'm capable of.
