"We love because He first loved us."
As our decreasingly small part of the Kingdom increasingly insults Your holiness, calls to give up and move on cascade yet still fail to convince; for You and Yours never gave up on me even when I broke my promises to You and them, and I'm still convicted by the old saint who returned to You so long ago: "If you've ever wanted to be a missionary, stay in our denomination. It's the best mission field open to us today."
"I want everybody to be saved."
"My people are hell-bent on leaving Me...But how can I give up on you?
How can I turn you loose?
How can I leave you?
I can't bear to even think such thoughts.
My insides churn in protest.
And so I'm not going to act on my anger...Because I am God and not human.
I'm The Holy One and I'm here -
in your very midst."
