“If one wants to be alone from God, it appears to me a choice to reject divine love that Jesus selflessly offered on the cross to God the Father as doing the Father’s will and to offer himself to save us from sin and restore us to share in heaven with God.”

So you are saying that wanting to be alone is a rejection of God.

If one needs to be alone to figure oneself out, to enjoy the freedom of not having constant demands placed on one so that one has a calm mind... then I would think that God should see this as a necessary condition for a true choice. You might need space to really be free to figure things out.

So I don’t believe wanting to be alone is a rejection of God. It is a state where one can honestly determine what’s best for oneself.

Being alone is not the acceptance of God. One either accepts or rejects God.

Jesus told us the two great commandments: Love God and love neighbor.

God is patient and will wait and not force anyone.

However if one dies in mortal sin, then they suffer the consequence.

“Ask, and it will be given you, seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” Matthew 7:7
