Something's Gotta Give

"Something's gotta give."  This is what they say, and it's more true than we know.

An unassailable economic principle -
Inviolable physical law -

Something - always - has - to - give.  Surrender, share, be spent on the taking, or the getting, or the keeping of something else.  Everything cannot always and only ever receive.  So, how does this work?  What will it be?  That which can't be resisted?  Or, that which won't be moved?  (As the old question goes)

Thankfully, God is neither!

An irresistible force - the love of God is both perfectly free and freeing
Nor an immovable object - and it is tethered to the laughter and the tears of every living soul.

So, to my thinking, even truer are the words "Someone's gotta give."  For there to ever be any sign of peace, hope for reconciliation, mercy shown or forgiveness - Someone will have to be the one to give it.

"From his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace."  ~John 1:16
