You love the idea of all possibilities, only you would prefer to check off the possibilities you prefer. You would like a menu provided to you and your order honored the way room service in a good hotel is. You want this, but not that. But then, all possibilities would not be all possibilities.

On the other hand, do not think that I am contrary to your choices. I listen and I hear, and I give you My heart of consent.

Some must still consider Me as a God of retribution. Some must think that if they have an impure thought, I write it down and then when the notion strikes Me, I will smite them sometime in the future.

Your thoughts do matter, but not like that. My love for you is not easily affected. My love for you is not affected at all, not by what you do or think, not by anything you do or don’t do. Nothing can shake My love for you. My love does not fluctuate. A God of love is not fickle. The wavering of love is a Human quality, not a God one.

Sense of retribution is a Human quality, one that I have been trying to break you of. Why in Heaven’s name would I do that which I extol you not to do? And why would you do and continue to do that which does not benefit you or anyone?

If I were a God Who wondered, I would wonder what your love for Me is contingent on. If you did not perceive your dependency upon Me, if you did not think I was useful to you and that you had better stay on the good side of Me, would your love for Me then be less or less often? Have you perhaps felt obligated to love a God Who wields great power?

Perhaps your love for Me would be lighter and you would enjoy yourself more.

Have I been to you perhaps like a Superintendent of Schools who decides your fate? As a student or as a teacher, you shake in your boots as I walk around the room, and you don’t want to be singled out.

You are already singled out with Me.

I do not stride in with a pad and pencil and take notes and then write up a report. At the same time, I never take My eyes of love off you. I gaze at you with adoration.

Regardless of My love for you, beloveds, life will provide all kinds of opportunity for you. Someone you love will die. Someone you love won’t love you. You will not have something you want, and you will have something you don’t want. All this is not retribution, beloveds. It is not punishment. It is not even judgment. It is the parade of life. This is what happens when you occur in a physical body.

Does life seem to favor some more than others? It would seem so. Does that mean someone is more deserving than another? Does it mean that I favor one and not another? Do not think that I am cavalier about your perception of what occurs in life. I do not ignore nor belittle your pain or confusion. Yet understand that I desire to move your perception closer to Mine. It is essential that this happen.

Life is not equitable, but then, it is only life. We could say that life in the world is like being on a moving walkway at the airport. You get on and you get off. You go in one direction and someone else goes in another. Yet whatever walkway you are on, it will take you with it. I am here. Whether your ride is smooth or bumpy, I am here. I am your destination. I am your Destiny.
