"By plucking her petals, you do not gather the beauty of the flower."
There is a fundamental difference between loving something and wanting to own it. If you love a flower, you leave it rooted so it can live and grow. If you pluck its petals to take them with you, the flower dies. Possession often destroys the object of our affection. Does He love them or love them not? The answer is not for us to decide.
Israel is not ours. Israel is God's.
