can you hear between the lines?

I don't want you to die, says the Sovreign Lord. Turn back and live!
Ezekiel 18:32.

This right after God just finished telling Israel that they were **** SINful, and they would be SEVERELY PUNISHED as in DEATH AND DESTRUCTION if they didn't shape up.
I'm so glad that he tacked that on at the end. It makes God sound more like a person who wants your best but has been through the same thing with you, the same fault so many times that they're incredibly frustrated and don't know what else to say to you. But the love is there. It's ultimately, hugely, vitally importantly there.

that's all for now.
hopefully my thoughts will get going again soon, as they seem to be pretty er... dry lately. not too many musings.
sigh.
over 'n out.
E.O.
