Imagine the moment God first gave you life. He's so excited about this new human life he has created, he has to share it with someone.  Just then, the angel, Gabriel happens by, so God calls him over. "Hey Gabe, check it out.  Look at the new life I just made!" 

Now imagine Gabriel is a bit of a pessimist, if it's possible for an angel to be a pessimist.  He says to God, "I know everything you make is good, and all, but how can I get excited about another new life on planet earth the way things are going?  Over half a billion people are undernourished in the world, and 75% of undernourished children have no access to any help.  How can I get excited about a new child coming into the world where there's a good chance they'll be chronically hungry?"

But God responds, "Not this kid.  This child will have three healthy meals every day, and even eat snacks between meals!"

Gabriel says, in wonder, "Wow.  The child will even eat between meals!  That's almost unheard of." But then his pessimistic nature (if it's possible for an angel to be pessimistic by nature) returns. "But so what if the chld eats every day.  God, you know that 20 percent of the world has no access to clean drinking water, and almost half the world does not have consistent access to proper sanitation.  What good is it if this child eats every day if they're likely to be chronically sick or even die from a lack of clean water?"

"Gabriel,Gabriel," God says, "I know that's true, but not for this child.  This child will actually have clean water pumped into their home their whole life.  Not only that, but if they don't like that water, they'll be able to go to any store and buy clean water."

"Wow," Gabe replies, "Clean water AND plenty of food every day.  But God, what about housing? You know that the average family on planet earth live five people to a room.  Millions live without a permanent home at all.  How can I be happy, even for a well fed child, if I know their living conditions will likely be so below par?"

God smiles back at Gabriel, "That's true for most, but not for this child.  This child will live an entire lifetime in houses with more rooms than people"

Stunned, Gabriel replies, "The child must be royalty, then."

"No," God answers, "Just a kid."

"But wait," Gabriel responds, not ready to let go of his doubts (If it's possible for an angel to have doubts) "What good is any of that if this child never gets to truly experience you for who you are.  You know, God, that there have been more Christian martyrs in the last century than in all the rest of the modern era combined.  You know that there are over 50 countries in the world, including some of the largest and most powerful, that forbid their citizens from worshiping you.  How can I rejoice ove this new life knowing they may likely face such persecution if they ever encounter the Gospel at all."

Now God breaks into his biggest smile yet.  "Not this child.  This child will live in a place where there are multiple churches per town.  Bibles will be sold in every book store. The Gospel will be broadcast on multiple radio stations."

Finally, Gabriel smiles too.  "Plenty to eat and drink; a comfortable home, freedom to worship You.  This child will be so blessed. I bet the child grows up to be extremely grateful for all these blessings."

Now it is God's turn to look sad (If it's possible for God to become sad).  "Actually," God says, "I know all things past, present and future, and I know this child will grow up to complain about the food they have often. Frequently they will even throw away food simply because they do not like it."

"Throw away food," Gabriel echoes back, shocked. "But certainly the child will be grateful for their large house."

"Sometimes, perhaps," God replies, "But often, throughout their life, the child will complain that their house is too cluttered, lacks privacy, or is too hard to keep clean."

"But surely the child will be grateful for a life in which they can learn of You and worship You without persecution."

Sadly (If it is possible for God to be sad) God shakes His head. "Actually, there will be times when, through this child's life, they'll miss church simply because it is inconvenient.  They'll be embarressed to talk about ther faith, and their Bible will gather dust from lack of use."

"How can that be," questions Gabriel, unable to comprehend what he's being told.

"There are many reasons," God answers, "But I will never stop loving this child , even when they forget to be thankful. Not even for a second."
