hey God...
Yes?
why do you love everyone?
What do you mean?
i mean, you love everyone right? even the unlovable ones...why?
Why not?
coz some of them are...well...wrong. they cheat, they steal, they abuse what you've given them as natural talents or abilities. you detest such practices right? you said so yourself in your book. i mean, look at her, she takes people for granted and uses her looks to get what she wants. and him, he cheats on tests and takes the credit for it. and them, they two-time their own boyfriends and girlfriends...they cheat, lie and steal..they're so evil and so sinful! i know i'm not exactly at the zenith of holiness either, but i don't do all that right? and sometimes it even seems that they have it better off than the others who are trying so hard to walk right with you..
What would you have me do?
you
did say the wages of sin is death right? but since you're merciful and all, you could just give them a bit more hardship in life? take away that BMW that he just got, call rain down upon his golf day..i dunno.
or you could chase out the demons in them! i liked it when you did that to the demon-possessed man back when your disciples couldn't..it showed your power and sovereignty over all the earth and beyond!
or you could perform miracles like you did for Moses, water out of the rock, parting of the Red Sea, a pillar of cloud by day and fire by night!
all these seem so small compared to what you already..
wait..
you already died on the cross for them. you suffered the most horrible death, to pay for their sins, to render them clean and righteous before you. that's why you love them isn't it? because they're yours; you paid the price for them, the ultimate price you could pay.
forgive me, i spoke out of turn.
