Luk 11:2 KJV
(2) ... Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.


God's will be done. Interesting. Why if God wants His will to be done does He not do it? For the same reason that He made man in the first place is the reason. Man was made to worship God freely. If He wanted us to turn to Him automatically then He would have made us angels. While angels must have some degree of free will (Satan did try to do things his own way), they were made to serve God. Man was meant to have free choice in what He did. He could turn to God or turn away.

That does not mean however that God does not want what is in heaven here on earth. He put Adam in a perfect place to start with. It was only when Adam turned to Satan that earth lost its perfection.

We can have heaven on earth, at least in our little corner. We just need to love one another as He loves us.
