But I love my Lord so much and I know that He loves all of us and so out of love I want everyone to at least consider before they just throw Him out the door. I know what He has to offer beyond words; no words for it. This is how I see people that don't know Him yet; now tell me whats so bad about the way I see this? Please don't get offended either thats just silly. Don't read too much into it, its just a made up metaphor.
You have people every where around you starving and hungry. There is nothing but leaves and bugs around. You have found this restaurant that has free steak, fruit, milk, potatoes, you name it its there! You run back to tell everyone what you have found shouting with joy. But they scoff and grumble and go on to eating their bugs and leaves. You look around and you see many suffering. A couple may listen but they still don't believe its true because they don't see the restaurant. You know its right around the corner. So you say "please get up and follow me and you will see". But they all just sit there.
So you think o.k. maybe if I can go back and bring something to show them. So you go and pick a food choice and bring it back. "See look its real. Here it is in my hand". But many don't even look your way and some that do might decide to try it and after trying it might decide to go to the restaurant with you. But most won't consider what you have found, most won't look up from their own meals they have found that think is getting them by, most just mock you.
So you go back to the restaurant to sit and be with your family there and eat. But you can't get those others out of your mind. The ones you see needing and pushing what you have found away. Its hard to relax because many are missing. The cook seems saddened his restaurant isn't as full as can be. He turns to you after you have eaten and says "Please will you go out again and try to see if anyone will listen. Please don't sit there and say nothing. "
