‘God’s kindness is intended to lead you to repent’Romans 2:4

It isn’t his bullying, scaring or shocking but God’s kindness that wins us over into a relationship with him. He wants his companionship with us to start off on the best possible footing imaginable with a trust and knowledge of his faithful love. He calls us, woos us, is tender towards us in the hope that we turn from the disastrous way that we are heading and walk with him, know him and love him. This is the precious wonder that God lets us choose our destiny although it may break his heart if we turn away or carry on walking into death.  God treats us as adults not children - he doesn’t dictate to us what we should do, tell us to go here or do this or that,  but lets us move freely to discover, learn and find him for ourselves. This is the love that lets go to, waits and patiently calls us home.
