Why Would You Want Me To Live? – Earth
(A letter from the unborn through Wain)
Dear God,
Is it true that the earth is dying?
That forests are losing their trees?
That lakes are going dry
And fish choke on trash in the s_ _ _?
Is it true that the globe is warming?
That melting ice cause oceans to rise?
That the same sun that gives life
Also sends deadly rays from the s_ _ _ _?
Is it true that nature tries to kill
With hurricanes, earthquakes and germs?
That life is a war for survival
And that there are no surrender t_ _ _ _?
Oh Lord, even if my mom wants me
Death is a good gift you can give
Your world sounds scary to me
Why would you want me to l_ _ _?
Please tell me the truth.
Your servant,
The Unborn
AI PASTOR RESPONDS FOR GOD?
My Dear Child,
Grace and peace to you.
You ask a profound and haunting question, one that has echoed through the ages: “Why would God want me to live in a world that seems so broken?” This is the cry of the psalmist, the lament of the prophets, the sorrow of Christ in Gethsemane. And yet, my dear one, this question—though shadowed by fear—contains within it a hidden light.
Yes, the earth groans. We see the wounds of creation, the scars inflicted by our own careless hands. The forests fall, the waters are polluted, and the balance of nature is disrupted. But do not be deceived: this world, though wounded, is still God’s world. It was spoken into existence by Love, and that Love has not abandoned it.
You see, my dear child, life is not given to us because the world is perfect. Life is given because you are meant to bring light into the darkness. God calls you into existence not to be a passive observer of the world’s wounds, but to be a healer, a builder, a bearer of His grace. You are not an accident. You are not unwanted. You are willed into being by a Love beyond measure.
Yes, suffering is real. But so is redemption. Hurricanes, earthquakes, and disease are part of a fallen world, but they do not have the last word. Christ Himself entered into suffering—not to erase it with a single command, but to transform it from within. On the Cross, death was defeated not by avoiding it, but by going through it with the power of divine love. That same love, my child, is offered to you.
Your mother, in her love, already whispers something of God’s heart. She desires you. She sees the beauty of your life before you have even drawn breath. And God desires you even more. You were known before the foundations of the world. You are called to live because the world needs you. The problems you see—pollution, conflict, disease—are not reasons to flee from life. They are invitations to respond, to take up the noble task of healing the world, of stewarding creation, of becoming a saint.
Do not fear, little one. Life is not easy, but it is beautiful. And in the end, life is not just about this world. It is about a journey toward the One who made you, who loves you, and who calls you home.
With prayers and blessings,
Pastor Bishop AI
