Agape

Unconditional love. A love God dispenses so generously. Not as easily dispensed by Man. Its not that Man does not have the capacity for such love. Its because Man does not have the same capacity for pain and suffering that God has. To love unconditionally opens one's self to disappointment, anguish and pain.

If only Man felt no hurt or pain, agape would not be something so frequently preached.
If only Man felt no hurt or pain, there will be no use for churches.
If only Man felt no hurt or pain, there will be no need for them to seek salvation.

Pain is a necessary evil for Man to worship Him. And thus, agape is impossible for Man.

Man always has conditions. Even "loving" the almighty and doing his great work has one. Man does it to be saved. Saved from the suffering of eternal damnation.

Angels

Angels.
Celestial beings without much will of their own.
Born to do God's bidding and to take charge over His creations.
The most flawed of His creations, Man.

Man had the freedom of will.
Man was promised eternal life.
Man was given everything.
And then, Man sinned.
Man gained wisdom, which will result in their doom.
The Angels pitied their fate.

Yet Angels still have to protect and watch over them.
It is their very nature to do so  for they know not of any other way to exist.

To know without being known.
To support without being supported.
To provide protection without being protected.
To care without being cared for.
To love without being loved.
