GOING OUT ON A LIMB

I may be going out on the limb here but what comes to mind is that progress indifference, and destruction are perhaps the chief characteristics of mankind throughout its history.

Sidenote: It’s a terrible thing when the people who used to think the world of you –no longer do! Maybe we ought to do something about that 🤷‍♂️🤷🏿‍♀️

God doesn’t seem to be inclined to enforce things like we do -Why is that:

•Man was granted the right of free will, and therefore God respects it;

•God doesn’t have to worry about being harmed or killed by man by man as we do;

•God has nothing to prove or to improve in Himself -we do! We failed in the beginning, and now it’s up to each of us to prove ourselves in the end;

•God is probably less interested in (many aspects of) our journey, and more interested in our final destination -as we ourselves should be;

•We are so preoccupied with externals, whereas God is more concerned about the internals.

To sum it all up:

•God is not us, and we are not God;

•Our position is quite different from God’s;

•God’s plan is very different from our plan.

Update:

•God is in no rush to punish us; that’s why He placed consequences, the law of cause-and-effect on this plane. You would rather we learn than be punished. Punishment is a last resort with God. As it would be with any good parent [how many of us parents fail in this regard, while also stereotyping God, our Heavenly Father, as a punishing God – “You spot it, you got it”]

•He always knows where to find us
