Free Will

God is always teaching me It is whether I pay attention Open doors, closed doors, either way Things are shown with genuine reason, so I can live, learn, give and love I'm given emotions for growth, tears, happiness, joy, even anger with strength to pursue what is authentic to my soul Time may never be what I expect it to be Patience is required to reach my destiny There is always change, always new beginnings, even when it seems as though I am trapped God knows, God listens, God guides me It is my choice how I act upon my free will Heidi Sands 7/1/24 (C)opyright

Nice poetic take on free will Heidi. So many believe in fate or predestination, opposites of free will. Enjoy your day
