Lamentations



If only we would do the few things requested by the Giver of Life. It seems He asks so little; only what will bless and sustain His children.

In California many are celebrating the judicial permission to perform same-sex marriages. Is it too much to ask that the one thing God requires in marriage - male and female created He them - would be honored and obeyed?

Like a recalcitrant child, we stick our finger in the eye of the Great Lover. Why? I don't understand. He asks so little: "Just please won't you love Me?" is the heart's cry of the Father. We don't. We must have our way. From the beginning of man's tenure under the sun, he has insisted on his own way.

Will we ever weary of the mayhem and return Home where all is well with our souls? Will we ever love the Father enough to obey His simple commands?
