I will call your name

But I will not plead for an answer

*

I will knock

But I will not open the door for you

*

I will invite you

But I will not beg you to come

*

I will speak words of life to you

But I will not bend your ear

*

I will set a table for you

But I will not push you into the chair

*

I will love you with all my heart

But I will not coerce you to accept it

*

I will bring you to healing waters

But I will not dunk you into them

*

I will instruct you in the ways of wisdom

But I will not mandate that you learn

*

I will warn you

But I will not compel you to take heed

*

I will make you aware when you have strayed

But I will not turn you around

*

I will guide you to a clear pool

But I will not induce you to drink of it

*

I will give you food for thought

But I will not demand that you think

*

I will bring you comfort

But I will not require you to be consoled

*

I will unlock your shackles

But I will not take them off of you

*

I will always tell you the truth

But I will allow you to believe whatever you choose

*

I will prepare a place for you

But I will not force you to dwell there
