 The individuals we encounter in our lives are often not chosen by us; rather, we are brought into this world without the ability to make a personal selection. Our upbringing is influenced by societal norms and expectations, leaving us with limited choices. In reality, our level of happiness is greatly impacted by the decisions made by others. If we were to quantify this, the significance of our own choices would be overshadowed by the influence of our upbringing and societal norms. Additionally, we have no control over the timing of our death, further highlighting our lack of agency in life. This realization reveals a sense of helplessness that challenges the notion of free will.


This is why it is imperative for God to possess sovereignty in manifesting existence. Our reliance on others for our overall well-being, coupled with our inherent depravity, necessitates our complete dependence on Christ. By turning to Christ, we are bestowed with grace, which encompasses both divine protection from temptation and sin, as well as a redirection of our hope towards His eternal love. The world we inhabit is beyond our control, and the arduous task of rectifying numerous past wrongs would require an unrealistic amount of time and effort. Nevertheless, we can place our trust in God, knowing that He possesses the omnipotent ability to set things right.
