More Food For Thought

Like a Potter, God has a plan and a purpose for us.                                                                                                 Like clay, we are filled with air and many impurities.

He places us on 'The Wheel', where we must be schooled.                                                                                  He's ever patient to long endure with our disharmony.

He's beyond tolerant, going the farthest distance with us.                                                                                           He'll bake, shake, remake us; reshape us; return us; resend us; 

It's hard to even imagine what good He would not do for us.                                                                               He's unafraid and freely allows freedom of expression and freewill.

He knows no weakness that disallows Him to release us to our own devices.                                                     His Divine Law of Freewill often yield to our hastened demise and destruction.

Many are the tears of God, frequently poured out for the choices we make.                            But He is bound by His Divine Laws, intrinsically stamped upon His character. 

Although He is Omnipotent to do as He pleases,                                                                                                  He sometimes prohibits Himself from certain actions.

His Love is also subject to Divine Legalities of Holiness.                                                                                                         And His personal attributes never contradict each other.

He is indeed vitally involved in the human condition';                                                                                  but He forces neither success or failure; and He neither                                                                                             

dictates heaven; nor does He program hell for us.                                                                                            Each destination is a personal preference via free choice.

I must confess, there are times when I wish it were not so.                                                                 But ultimately, the Father knows best how things should go.

Well said, Curtis! God does not send anyone to hell. If that is where you end up it's because you made the choice to reject God's way. Blessings, Kim
