23 Do I take any pleasure in the death of the wicked? declares the Sovereign LORD. Rather, am I not pleased when they turn from their ways and live? (Ezekiel 18)
God does not want to see people suffer or perish. He wants everyone to be saved because He loves everyone. But people do not always want God. There are people who do not like the concept of God being in control of their lives; they want to control their lives even if it's down into the pit. And if this is so, should He force them to love Him back? Should He demand that they repent and live fulfilling lives? Or should He allow them to exercise their free will and die?
God wants us to live, love, and to be free from the bondage of sin...He wants everyone to experience life in abundance. .. . EVERYONE. That does not exclude anyone. Not even that someone...that somebody that you just think God might not love. He even loves them. Pray for them...God wants you to. God wants me to.

This is a place for my devotion; the time I meditate on God's word and reflect on how it applies to my life. I make my scripture selection based on an outline set up by the "Life Journal."
