Bruce Almighty

So, I just bought Bruce Almighty on DVD because I love that film. And there was this one quote that sort of struck me, so Imma QT it!

The background info is that this guy Bruce is given all of God's powers but not God's knowledge. So he does things like get himself a better job, get free clothes and other stuff. God says the only two rules are that he can't tell anyone he's God, and he can't mess with free will. a lot happens in the film, and nearer the end, he ends up breaking up with his girlfriend, and he tries to do everything within the powers he has to get them back together and then here comes the quote:

Bruce: How do you make people love you without affecting Free Will?
God: Welcome to my world, son. If you come up with an answer to that one, let me know.

I just guess I never thought about it like that! Although this quote is about him and his girlfriend, "God" relates it back to Christianity.  I'm always praying for God to turn people into Christians, but I had never thought about maybe, that it's the people i'm praying for, that their hearts aren't open to God, and they are the ones not loving God. God loves us, he loves all of us. And although it works both ways, that God has chosen us, he knows who would have been open to him, and who wasn't going to be. 

This may have been obvious to everyone, but it kind of wasn't to me. I'm constantly crying out to God literally and metaphorically asking him why people aren't Christians, why he isn't doing anything about it and showing himself to them. But, it's the wrong attitude. God's done everything for us, but it's a two way thing, people have made the choice to reject him. It's really sad, but we need to keep telling people about God, and telling people how much he loves us, and he's just waiting for them to love him back.
