We can choose to go along with God’s will or refuse to do do. We can choose to honor what God would have us honor, or choose to dishonor what He would have us honor.

Plenty of room for free will.

We don’t get to decide what’s true or not. We can choose whether to be in illusion and imagine we can decide what’s true. That is the downward path of darkness, and we can choose to follow it. Of course, we delude ourselves thinking it’s the right path. But we once we choose to invent our own truth, our consciousness is tainted by self-will, and black appears white, and white appears black.

The ultimate purpose of free will is so we can choose to love God. Love is not love if it is not freely chosen, it is slavery. God is not a slavemaster, He enjoys our love when offered with a free heart, and reciprocates a millionfold.

So how do you feel about people having children that they cannot afford to financially care for?
