• Do we get what we want? Yes, we get what we want. God is that
  loving. If we want isolation, despair, and the right to be our own
  god, God graciously grants us that option. If we insist on using our
  God-given pwer to make the world in our image, God allows us that
  freedom; we have the kind of license to do that.that's how love
  works. It cant be forced, manipulated, or coerced. It always leaves
  room for the other to decide. God says yes, we can have what we want,
  because love wins.
