Aurora,

Almighty Allah SWT will not show you his attributes until you work for it. Would you pay someone for doing 'NO WORK'.
Do you really think its justified to pay someone who sits on his backside and does nothing all day as opposed to someone who goes out working hard all day.
Allah SWT wants to see some return for all the things he has provided us. You give Allah SWT a hand he will extend and arm, if you come to Allah SWT Walking he will come to you running.
