Pinnacle

...If only it were that simple. Nobody knows what horrors I have saved the world from because people can't never see what never happened. All evils flow from independence, and independence is your choice. If I were to simply revoke all the choices of independence, the world as you know it would cease to exist and love would have no meaning.
This world is not a playground where I keep all my children free from evil.
Evil is the chaos of this age that you brought to me but it will not have the final say. Now it touches everyone that I love, those who follow me and those who won't.
If I take away the consequences on people's choices, I destroy the possibility of love. Love that is forced is no love at all.

Let me tell you one of the reasons why this won't make sense to you. It's because you have such a small view of what it means to be human. You and this Creation are incredible, wether you understand that or not. You are wonderful beyond imagination. Just because you make horrendous and destructive choices does not mean you deserve less respect for what you inherently are - the pinnacle of my Creation and the center of my affection.

Also, don't forget that in the midst of all your pain and heartache, you are surrounded by beauty, the wonder of Creation, art, your music and culture, the sounds of laughter and love, of whispered hopes and celebrations, of new life and transformation, of reconciliation and forgiveness. These are also the results of your choices and every choice matters, even the hidden ones.
So who's choices should we countermand?
Perhaps I should have never created?
Perhaps, Adam should have stopped before he chose independence?
You demand your independence, but then complain that I actually love you enough that I give it to you?
My purposes are not for my comfort, or yours. My purposes are always and only and expression of love. I purpose to work life out of death, to bring freedom out of brokeness and turn darkness into light.
What you see as chaos, I see as fractal.
All things must unfold, even though it puts all those I love in the midst of a world of horrible tragedies - even the one closest to me.
