The Wilder Place

IF God exists and is an ALL POWERFUL being, which do you think He prefers... human beings with "freedom to choose" or "love by force"? Let's start on a smaller scale. Which would YOU prefer?

When I was in college I actually did make a computer say the words, "I love you." What did that mean? Ladies and gentlemen, that meant absolutely nothing! Yet my wonderful husband doesn't even have to say those same three little words (but I love it when he does ;-) and it means a great deal.

If you and I feel that way, then what do you think God in heaven prefers? Did you know: He's got angels around Him that sing, all day and night without ceasing, "Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord God, The Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come."

If we continue logically, the next question would be along the lines of: If God gave us free will to choose, don't you think He might have done that so we could freely choose Him?

I don't know you, your circumstances on this planet, or your religious beliefs. But, if there IS a God who IS almighty, and He created us, He certainly wants us to love Him and HIM alone by our free choice. Not because another person forced us.

If you really think about this, you'll probably also come to the realization that no one can force another to love; they may be able to make someone say the words, but not to feel them.

Do you think God needs you or I to say "I love you"? I don't think God needs either one of us at all. Well, maybe He needs you, but He certainly doesn't need me. There is not one single thing I can do for God that He can't get some where or some way else; After all, He IS God! The beauty of it all is, He WANTS you, me, us to love Him! That's why He created us!
