Last time\u00a0 we asked a difficult\u00a0 question.Why did God not\u00a0 create\u00a0 such\u00a0 people\u00a0 who\u00a0 cannot sin, and\u00a0 who\u00a0 must always obey\u00a0 God.They would\u00a0 not have spoiled\u00a0 the\u00a0 world even in the\u00a0 beginning. They\u00a0 would\u00a0 not\u00a0 spoil it\u00a0 now and\u00a0 we\u00a0 should all be\u00a0 well. We\u00a0 would\u00a0 live happily. God\u00a0 can do\u00a0 everything, surely\u00a0 He\u00a0 could\u00a0 have\u00a0 created\u00a0 us\u00a0 so\u00a0 \u00a0that\u00a0 we\u00a0 could not\u00a0 do\u00a0 anything\u00a0 wrong. It is a\u00a0 diffucult\u00a0 question, but\u00a0 i believe\u00a0 you will\u00a0 understand\u00a0 the answer. I’ll give\u00a0 you\u00a0 two\u00a0 examples. Mary\u00a0 had\u00a0 a very good mother. Daddy died when\u00a0 she\u00a0 was a little. But\u00a0 Mary\u00a0 had\u00a0 everything she needed. Mommy took\u00a0 care of\u00a0 everything. She\u00a0 was\u00a0 sewing late\u00a0 into\u00a0 the\u00a0 night, just\u00a0 to\u00a0 have\u00a0 Mary\u00a0 everything\u00a0 she\u00a0 needed.She never\u00a0 left\u00a0 her alone, knowing\u00a0 Mary\u00a0 would\u00a0 be\u00a0 afraid.She\u00a0 never\u00a0 told her\u00a0 now leave\u00a0 me alone.In\u00a0 the\u00a0 evening\u00a0 she\u00a0 told\u00a0 her\u00a0 stories. Mary\u00a0 thought it had\u00a0 to be,\u00a0 that\u00a0 every\u00a0 mother\u00a0 was such as her\u00a0 mother.Once Mary fell ill. Once\u00a0 Mary\u00a0 got sick Mom\u00a0 called a doctor and\u00a0 Mary\u00a0 \u00a0had to\u00a0 go\u00a0 to\u00a0 the hospital.She\u00a0 was\u00a0 very\u00a0 sad\u00a0 there, but she\u00a0 knew that\u00a0 mother\u00a0 was\u00a0 even sadder. Every\u00a0 day\u00a0 her sister brought a little\u00a0 gift with leaflet.Mary felt at the hospital, how much\u00a0 my\u00a0 mother likes her.There were\u00a0 children in the hospital. On the next bed lay\u00a0 Olga. She was always very sad.And especially\u00a0 when Mary was\u00a0 pleased with what her mother\u00a0 sent\u00a0 her.Olga then turned away,was annoyed and even cried once. When they asked her why she didn’t want to say. But once Olga entrusted Mary with her grief.Olga lived in a children’s home, but was not an orphan.Her parents lived.But they didn’t want her.she committed them.They had other\u00a0 interests. So they put it in a children’s home.There she also had everything\u00a0 she needed. She just didn’t have the most important thing.Parentes\u00a0 paid for it and sometimes came to visit her. Sometimes father took her by car took her to a candy store but that was all. But when it was Christmas Eve no one came for her.And at that time she was particularly sad,for most of the children had come someone for Christmas.When Mary found out she realised the goodness of her own\u00a0 mother. And then she realised that it wasn’t always that every mother liked her child.As long as Mary thought,mother otherwise she cannot be, you didn’t value her love.Another example.One old uncle lived all alone. He was sick,so he didn’t go anywhere. He hadn’t heard a human voice for days. So he bought a parrot.And he taught him to speak. Don’t be sad I’m here.There was no silence\u00a0 now,for the parrot\u00a0 had repeated it all day. Once it was pretty warm and he felt better sitting down\u00a0 in the garden.It was close to the fence and he saw what was being done\u00a0 in the neighbor’s garden. Father\u00a0 And son were spading together.Elderly son sitting reading under a tree.But said he didn’t want,as late as reach,Father saddened.The younger son ran away and brought it to him.He said exactly what a parrot.Don’t sad I’m here.What ist the difference? The parrot couldn’t say anything else.But could that old man be happy about that? The parrot never told him not like the older son. The parrot could not insult him,him disobeyed.But just otherwise he could not\u00a0 haven’t his words Worte. And so it is somehow with us. God could create us toto that we could not Marke revisions,whether we warnt to ob et love ihm.Hat Prise\u00a0 it\u00a0 would then be? We would then be like\u00a0 that parrot. Each of the wo neighboring Boys could deside What\u00a0 they do. The One who obeyed, was willing, to feel satisfied and happy.The felt badly unpleasant. It the parrot learned to spev\u00e1k something ugly he would never be ashamed of it.The parrot\u00a0 cannot offended anyone or suffer.But he can’t\u00a0 really happy.God wanted to make us really happy,so He gave us freedom, but also the freedom to spoil,destroy,choose misfortune instead of happiness. If he made us just do well, he wouldn’t be\u00a0 happy about it,nor would it bring us happiness. You understand it\u00a0 now.But\u00a0 that is not\u00a0 enough to\u00a0 understand. We have to choose for\u00a0 ourselves what is good and\u00a0 right\u00a0 which will make us\u00a0 happy. We must choose\u00a0 to live\u00a0 with God.Blessed are those who walk the path of life\u00a0 without spot, who walk the path of life without spot<\/h2>\n
