I gotcha. That all makes huge sense, actually. It's what I think I was thinking about what I said "I (we) were made for this...," but you said it with all those proper and excellent words - quit being too smart for me - will ya?!! {wink}

Sometimes I have trouble incorporating certain ideas with my religious beliefs, even though those ideas may seem so "right" they "should" fit. Sometimes I cannot, so I reject some. Sometimes I find, to my surprise, I can, so it seems a gigantic puzzle gets a tiny, tiny but more complete.

I'm not sure I'm really making sense here, or at least as much as I'd like to, and I am tiptoeing some. I don't even post on Faith, and I'm afraid I shall suddenly make a Faith-type post here (oh, no!) as that is my entire approach to questions like your original one. Not that the world would spin off its axis or anything if I posted something like that on the {gasp} Social board! But I try to be extra-good....Lol.

I was getting stuck on the word "owe" somehow. I don't know why. If I'm reminded of obligation, that's okay with me, as I see obligations as honorable and also important in our relations with God, others and ourselves. (It's easy to love the lovable, etc.) So it's wasn't that I "mind" if sometimes the love and kindness aren't flowing freely and are more of a thing that "must" be done. Don't know quite why my brain stopped on that word.

I like your question. It's still making me think. Thanks for posting it.
