"Humans are most beautiful in their ability to fail and get up again, and fail, and get up again. And learn, and bend, and break. And hold each other up, and heal each other and love beyond what they were created or told to love."
Disbelief curls out before Lucifer can think better of it, "The more human an Angel, the more You would love them?"
Then, slowly…
"And the more the Host would punish them. Make them fall - "
Horrified, he stopped. God continued for him, of course.
"And essentially turn them into a human, yes. I would want you all free, Lucifer, to feel as humans feel, and thus understand why they are so beloved."
When Lucifer failed to reply, God said softly,
"It is a great agony to know that those I created to provide example for free will with My love would create your free will in your hatred of them."
Before Lucifer can answer to that, he says, "But, of course, that is what they are meant to do - to inspire both love and hatred, courage and cowardice."
Lucifer protested, "I loved You too much. Now I hate them."
God's form chuckled, though it was through light and not tone. It echoed along Lucifer's grace quietly.
"Here. I am giving you that choice; I see you in error, and I could show you as I see it, why you are wrong, but that would be taking your free will, Lucifer, so I will not. What good is the pain or joy you create for yourself if I never let you find or feel it?"
