God's not looking for slaves. He has given us the free will to accept or reject Him as we see fit. Some people pin the blame for what we do on God, asking how a just and loving God could allow injustice in this world. That's us, not God. Why does an innocent child come down with a fatal disease and die before reaching adulthood? I'm not going to pretend to have the answer for that. I know this much, God is a loving force in my life and He has welcomed me home after years of swimming on the devil's lake. I know the emptiness of living a life without God. Not everyone feels that way and that's fine. But a world where God is acknowledged is better than a world where He is not. I say this because I have seen both first hand. But God leaves it up to us. We have a relationship with God whether we want to acknowledge it's existence or not. CS Lewis put it best: “There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, in the end, 'Thy will be done.'" ― Mere Christianity.
"If it is displeasing to you to serve the Lord, choose today whom you will serve, the gods your ancestors served beyond the River or the gods of the Amorites in whose country you are dwelling. As for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.” ― Joshua 24: 15. Peace be with all of you.
