"... oh my. In a way, our choices have power over what God can do sometimes. Our choices limit Him. If we choose to shut him out (hearts that aren't willing/teachable/ears that refuse to hear), then he can't do anything about it! Because he gave us free will! ohmy. ok Lord, it's kind of stupid. In the sense that, if there wasn't such a thing as free will then you'd make all of us receive you and you wouldn't let stupid thoughts of doubt get through, and we'd all be happy and fine and dandy.
But I guess. The pleasure's in us being willing.
And in that way, we grow .
ah.

sigh.
open hearts. willing minds. ah Lord. things get so difficult sometimes, and you kana super heart pain huh. But ohwells. I guess. You asked for it. Since you knew that we were all gonna be like that. And stuff like...this...would happen. ohwells. Great is the measure of our Father's love."
