Free will means we can do anything we want, a gift the Lord gave us. For instance, we can choose whether to act with love or hate. No one can make us do one or the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every morning, I choose to love Ron. Folding his laundry always forces the issue, as irritation rises because he doesn\u2019t notice I do it, just enjoying the result of clean clothes in his closet. But then I remind myself of everything he does for me, so I keep folding as an act of love and appreciation for my husband.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But say I decided not to fold his clothes and let the dirty laundry pile up. Eventually, Ron would notice, and an argument would erupt, causing a relational rift as hubby reminds me of all he does for us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A fool would blame God for the problem. Instead of taking responsibility for my part in the argument, I blame God for not making Ron more understanding or appreciative of me. But I caused the problem because of my choice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Actions have consequences. Learning to take responsibility for our choices takes work. Blaming God for our foolishness doesn\u2019t end well. The Lord gave us free will; use it wisely.<\/p>\n\n\n Lord, forgive us for blaming You for our actions. Help us take responsibility for our decisions and learn from them. Let our efforts honor You. IJNIP. Amen<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One minute read.
