So you see, we are not free to choose our fate. There is a yoke to be borne and freedom is only an illusion. I am not free. God has put me here on earth for a reason.
There is only one thing to do when you meet the Living God; you must fall on your face and repent of your sins. Repentance is bittersweet business; Repentance is not just a conversion exercise -- it is the posture of the Christian, much like 'tree' or 'full lotus' is the posture of the Yogi. Repentance is our daily fruit, our hourly washing, our minute by minute wake-up call; our reminder of God's creation, Jesus' blood, and the Holy Spirit's comfort. Repentance is the only no shame solution to a renewed Christian conscience, because it only proves the obvious: God was right all along.
Man got into difficulty when he lifted his will against God__. He gets out of trouble when he bows to the divine superiority, when he repents and says humbly: __od be merciful to me a sinner._ Man__ extremity then becomes God__ opportunity.
God__ will is for us to commit our lives to Christ and follow Him. God__ will also is that we avoid sin.
God wants us to know His will and He reveals it to us both through the Bible and through the guidance of His Holy Spirit. Seek God__ will when you pray, and He will help you know it.
