| | I have a question that I've been pondering about. I wanted to know what you guys thought so here it is. Do you think God "destined" us for certain things in our lives like school, career, who you get married to, etc or is it simply our choice? Hmmm.... I don't know if my question makes sense. Anyway, hope you guys have a happy Friday!
Edit: The reason why I ask this question is because this is what we discussed about during bible study last week . My pastor basically said the only thing that God predestined is our salvation... other than that, the rest of the things that happen in life are the results of our choice. He said that God gave us free will so we would not be a robot. I don't know.. I guess I was just confused because I can't tell how much of it was really based on my choice. For example, I did NOT want to come to UT for college. UT was the last place I wanted to go but circumstances forced me to choose UT even though I did not want to go there. Do I regret coming to UT? No I do not. I'm actually thankful I came to UT even though I didn't want to initially because I met many wonderful people and an awesome church. People in Dallas actually noticed that I've matured in my faith and saw a difference in me because of that. So when I think and reflect on that, it seems pretty clear to me that God wanted me to be in Austin and He opened the way so that it would happen. So how much of it was really based on my choice? Umm.. I don't know. Yes, I do believe we are capable of choosing (obviously) but I also believe that "everything happens for a reason". |
