I Cannot Make You Love Me

I have put a couple of videos of Adrian Plass on here before. We normally think of him as being very funny. But he can also be very profound. This is him reading an amazing poem that he wrote some years ago — there are no pictures in the video, just the words of the poem.

I first heard this when I went to see him live in 1996. It moved me then, and still does today. It sums up so much the way I feel about our free will and love for God — it has to be our choice to love, or it’s meaningless.
