The Father desires to show His grace. The father desires to demonstrate graciousness. He is not argumentative. He does not love contention and strife, arguing and complaining. So He does not long strive with mortals. He is long-suffering yet He will not strive and contend and argue long. The struggle, the wrestling match will end quickly, and He will mitigate injury but those who wrestle with Him will either gain a limp or simply go to their own destruction against His loving kindness.
