“You have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.”  1 Peter 1:23 NIV

We are free either to love God or not. He invites us to love Him. He urges us to love Him. He came that we might love Him. But, in the end, the choice is yours and mine. To take that choice from each of us, for Him to force us to love Him, would be less than love . . .

He leaves the choice to us.
