Never Know

We'd never know what we meant to someone
Why?
We are not supposed to know
We are supposed to know how we are to someone
and correct ourselves
But the knowing part - hah
Why do you want to know anyway?
So you can take that person for granted?
So you can make that person's life a living hell?
Yes you are capable, my friend
So God withholds information from you
So you can't do all that
The minute you do
It's all down hill from there
We are supposed to treasure people
Love them
Taking care of them
If you can't do all that
You can't do anything
Does God want you to do anything?
Only one thing - love others
He commissions us to go to all the world
to reach people
Why?
Is it because He loves them and wants you to love them?
Never doubt His intention
His intention is for you to be good
Just as He is good
So there
