what can you offer God?

what can you
offer God
that He does not
already possess?

Is your genius
greater?
is your skill
grander?
is your creativity
superior?
what materials
can you create
puny human?
what can you do for Him
that He
can’t do
better
for Himself?

the only thing
you can do
that he can’t
is to change your heart

God can’t make you
good
if He did
He would cease
to be
God 

nothing good
can ever
force
itself
on the will
of another

to make you good
would rob you
of free will
and with no
free will
terms
such as “good”
and “evil”
become
…meaningless…

God loves us
and desires us
to be
good
but the final choice
is up
to us
to you
to me

we are told
“be perfect ‘ as your
father in heaven
is perfect”
yet how
can this
be?
how can we
match God?

only through
love 

God showed
perfect love
for us
how then
may we
show perfect love
to others?

“judge not
go the extra mile
turn the other cheek
treat others
the way
you 
want
to be treated
love
others
as much
as you
love
yourself”

that
is how
we can be
as perfect
as God
