God's Choice

Hallmark Debuts Series Of LGBT eCards For Fathers’ Day. According to a Tumblr blog called Trans Girl Next Door, a person named Kylie Wu created the eCards, and takes special pride in the two gay dads animation. “I’m so proud to be the artist involved in making the first ever same-sex Hallmark eCard featuring two gay dads,” Wu wrote. “And I’m proud of Hallmark for celebrating people’s differences! It doesn’t matter who’s in it, LOVE makes a family.”

Love makes a family. It sounds nice. It is like one of those tweets on Christmas, "I am with people who I choose to be my family". Sounds nice, too. I do have close friends who I consider my second family. Then, there are those who say, "I choose to be a man or a woman." Not bad, it sounds convicted.

Everything had become a choice and choice is power. There are many choices that clash with other people's choices. CHOICE is, indeed, the BATTLEFIELD of GOOD and EVIL.

There is one thing missing. God has a choice, too. God chose the family and race we are brought into. God chose a gender for us. He created them male and female. The tragedy of our generation so obsessed with rights is we clash with God's choice. God's choice is always a gift and a goodwill we have to unlock. In His gifts, there is always a gift within a gift. It is an inexhaustible possibility while our wrong choices often leave us running empty.

Lucas Cranach, 1530
