Do we have free will?

Free will is something that has always been a confusing thing to me. I face the question if God knows everything you will do before you do it does that negate free will? The Bible says if proverbs 16:9. “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps.”  In John 3:16 it says “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”  You can see the confusion. Here is one way to look at it, God is omnipresent so he is everywhere and every when at the same time. So he exists in the past present and future all at once. Therefor he sees all and knows all. So we have free will and what god knows does not effect this free will.  We make our own choices in life. The most important thing about free will is giving it up.  In order to grow in our relationship with God and to fulfill the plan God has for us we must surrender our will to God’s will.  In my life I have discovered that when I walk my own path it may be easy but it is never rewarding. I may find temporary happiness but it is just that temporary. When we surrender our free will to God we walk the road less traveled. It’s not always the easy way, others will challenge you and try to cause you to question your path.  If you stick to the path God has for you find a reward that   is unending and everlasting Happiness.  By surrendering my free will to God I am able to have a peace in my life no matter what is going on at the time.

Trust in God

We have talked about faith and love. And we must have them both but faith means little without trust. I can say I have faith in God but until I take the next step and give complete control of my life over to God and trust that God will lead me on the path he has for me my faith is hollow. I have walked the path of faith without trust and it was a chaotic path without meaning or direction. I was trying make my own way and telling myself that this was what God wanted me to do and I found myself getting farther and farther away from god. When I finally surrender myself to Gods will and put my trust in God, I found purpose, direction, peace, and happiness. My life became easy. You do not have to understand God's plan in order to trust God with control of your life.
