If only we could go home again. We look to the past and see the good things that happened to us. We choose not to remember the bad things that happened. When we think of the good things, then look at our present life and wonder why. Nothing is all good or all bad. There is always a mixture of the two. But those echoes call to us. And promise us comfort. But they are what they are memories. Our life is a choice. We choose what we are going to do. No one can make us to do what we don’t want to. This is called free will. Man, as a whole, received this free will when Adam and Eve sinned against God in the garden. Free will is being like God, but without the power to change anything. Even Jesus acknowledged that man is like God. But free will has been more of a burden than a blessing. It makes us accountable to God for everything we do and without any benefits. If God would have left us in this sorry state, we would have no chance at all. God, being merciful, decided to provide a way that we could be redeemed. He said if we will turn away from our past and faced Him, God would open a door. That door has a name. It is the name above every name. The door’s name is Jesus. There is no other way by which a person can enter into the kingdom of heaven. You know what is sad, is that most people will reject God’s offer. But the offer stands, as long as, you are alive on this earth. Because once you died, the offer ends and judgement begins.
