I don't often take God's point of view here, but I do think that in the end a good father has to let his children go... and take responsibility for their own actions. As hard as that may be.

David Braziel (@braziel) came back with a good response to this 'story'.

Man: "You gave us nothing. From a spark we have built this fire ourselves. Now either roll up your sleeves and take part or go.

Nice one. God's response... if only for the record.

God: "I am the spark."
