Paradox

Paradox
God
All powerful creator
Omnipotent
Omniscient
Infinite

The ancient question:
Can this God
create an object
even He
cannot move?
Pardox.
Or is it?
What of the human heart?
Tweak the question a bit,
Can He create
Something
Even He
Cannot control?
Adam and Eve
His chosen people
Those healed by Christ
And sharply admonished
To tell no one.
His Popes
You and I.
Those who love Him
Choose to do His will.
And even they
Stray.
Evil happens
If we so choose.
Free will you say?
Or Omniscient error?
Proof for the atheist?

Love.
Love is all powerful.
Love creates.
God is Love.

Love does not control.
Love not freely chosen
Is not love.

Man’s heart roams free.
Paradox?
Painful truth.
Is this God cruel
Or mad
Or absent?

Can one who has experienced the power of love
Doubt the existence of God?
Can one who has not or has lost love
Or who has seen evil
Believe in Him?

Evil?
Love’s absence?
Can this infinite God be absent?
Or simply choose
To withhold
His omnipotence
For the sake of love?

To love so much
As to allow
Evil?
Choice?
Madness
Divine madness.

God chooses not to control
The human heart.
Evil will control
The human heart
If the heart so chooses.
Yet love remains
God.
