I just wanted people to love me first.  To make that choice, and live by it.  I gave them free will, and I always hoped they would use theirs to put nothing else as a god before me.  Was that asking too much?  In turn, I would be their God.  I would lead, guide, protect, and bless them if they served me, and kept my commandments.

You know, I came up with those 10 things, believe it or not, to make life easier, not harder.  But that free will thing gets in the way and it sometimes gets people hurt.  It’s the only way this whole God and the people I made relationship would really work, and have true meaning to it.

I made these people, and then gave them free will.  Well, as you know, it didn’t take long for them to screw it up, so I taught them how to offer up a sacrifice for their sins, and it needed perfecting.  Yes, that is when I gave my people my Son.  Perfection.  His death bought back the people that belonged to me in the first place, because I made them.  It was out of pure love I gave them their free will again.  All I wanted was their perfect love given back to me freely of their own will.

What do you do with your free will?
