Happy Easter

But why would You do this for me?

Because I love you.

*

But it doesn't seem fair.

*

That's right. It's not fair-it's merciful.

It is, after all, a gift.

*

But how can I possibly deserve such a gift?

*

Don't be silly. You can't. You don't. This gift

is offered because I love you and want

to help you, not because I owe it to you.

*

But how can I ever repay You?

*

There you go again. Don't you get it yet?

You can't repay me, not you or all the billions

like you. Gifts of this magnitude can never

be repaid. For what I've done out of love for you,

you can only love me back, and seek to become

what I am-a giver of good gifts.
