Sorry, I did not mean to imply that human frailty was in full control everywhere, by everyone.
But so many people do allow their weaknesses to get the better of them, embracing their faults and even celebrating them. Worldly values are lauded, and virtue is held in disdain. With sinful behavior being enabled in nearly every facet of modern life, God has difficulty reaching many of his lost children. Free will is sometimes very stubborn. I cannot help but think that when we make so many wrong choices, it must make Him so utterly sad.
Should we close up shop? No, obviously God gave His only Son for the chance to save those that might choose to be. Even if it were for but a mere handful, it must still be worthwhile to Him. Our Father loves us that much.
Still it does not change the fact that some will still be lost and, sadly, never recovered. Sometimes a prodigal son does not return.
