We place our trust in him, Karrin, and therein lies our choice. We could choose doubt in its place, and I'm sure you're aware of where that road leads an angel.
We give of ourselves to His will, because that's what we believe in. That's what we exist for. It is, to be honest, what all creatures exist for, but mankind is just as freely given the choice to embrace that legacy or to doubt it, and reject it - the same as us angels. The difference is that our orders are relayed to us directly - man's internally. It's what conscience is.
Gabriel is fighting those orders - fighting what you would call his conscience, knocking it off kilter however he can with distractions. But it will devour him from the inside out. It tolls much louder in the soul of an angel, you see. There's more clarity to it, because we are closer to Him. It's a gift, but if he wishes to fight it, he turns it into his own curse.
As for the nature of God, He is all things - what you see in me, and what you do not. He's dark and light, the very balanced nature of all. It would follow then that there would be a part of you disappointed in His reality that was equivalent to your satisfaction with the same. He is the First and the Last, the Alpha and Omega, et cetera et cetera et cetera.
I won't be taking Gabriel by force, not this time. But he will see the light. Because I have faith in him. And he won't disappoint.
