Isn't that kind of like offering candy to children but jerking it back when they reach for it?No, because the non-Elect will not reach for it. So it's not a matter of God withholding from the non-Elect something for which they are yearning.

So God offers this gift to all, but knows some will not accept (reach for it)? I'm with you here. WILL NOT REACH sounds a lot like free will though ,don't you think? :')
