Bullies we are
Have you ever taken a shower?
Well, I guess you had, even just once in your whole life.
And while you were taking a shower, a cockroach comes out of the drainage and is about to crawl on your foot. Before this happens, what do you do?
You step on it. You kill it before it gets near you.
But what if that cockroach just wants to take a look at the light? Somewhere down there, it was something he just wanna do. All his life, he just wants to take a glimpse of the light. Every time he gets to your toilet bowl, you flush him in. But he is a super determined cockroach, so he tries to get up again. And after some days, weeks or maybe months, he finally made it to the surface. And the first thing he sees is you, naked, and a couple of seconds later, the next thing he sees is your slipper crushing him.
Why did you do that?
Because it’s JUST a cockroach. It’s inferior to you.
And because you can do it.
Isn’t that the same with God and you?
You are JUST human. You are inferior to Him.
And God has the power to do everything.
But He doesn’t use His power just to make fun of us. He doesn’t use His power because He just wants to.
God is powerful. YES.
but He is not a bully.
