We can’t force someone to love us. If we were to force someone into relationship with us, it would more likely cause resentment than affection. God could easily bend us to His will. He could have created us with no capacity to choose wrong. He didn’t have to give us free will. But He knew that love required choice. As Pastor Ray reminds us in today’s message, God longs for us to choose to love Him. He has given the most profound gift of love and grace in His son Jesus. How will we respond?
