I argue that no individual truly possesses complete sovereignty over their own life. The highest authority resides in acting solely for the glory of God. However, it is essential to differentiate between the desire to perform all actions for God's glory and the understanding of every circumstance as a reflection of His magnificence. God always acts with righteous intent, embodying truth, justice, and faithfulness. Therefore, we should strive to conduct ourselves in ways that affirm and reflect these divine attributes. But what does it genuinely mean to view every aspect of our lives as deeply interconnected with God's glory? This perspective invites us to explore our existence in a more profound way, recognizing that our struggles, joys, and everyday experiences are all woven into a larger tapestry that reflects His divine nature. In doing so, we not only enrich our own lives but also contribute to the unfolding of His redemptive story in the world around us. This is why God has gifted us the remarkable chance to fully unite our human nature with our spiritual essence. Our struggles do not stem from a need to abandon our humanity in pursuit of forgiveness and redemption; rather, they encourage us to voice our frustrations that arise from our often fragmented understanding of the all-encompassing redemptive story that has been available to us from the very beginning. This seed we carry represents the core of our existence and serves as an essential part of God's grand redemptive narrative. When our life experiences align with our grasp of this ideal story that resides within us, we attain a profound sense of completeness and mastery over our existence. The challenge does not come from a requirement for God to exert more power while we remain passive; instead, it lies in how we perceive the blessings He has already given us and how we integrate this flawless redemption into our personal viewpoints. As we start to realize the depth of this treasured narrative within us, our desire to experience its blessings will grow stronger. With this heightened sense of need, we become more aware of our limited control, which drives us to seek a deeper relationship with God so that we can fully embrace the unity of this redemptive story that He has intricately woven into our very being. By envisioning the authentic narrative of blessing, we can enrich both our human and spiritual qualities, unified in our desire to experience the harmony of His redemption alongside our personal journeys. When we truly align our complete humanity and spirituality with His redemptive tale, we uncover our true agency. If we stumble or falter in any way, we risk making our narrative one that is unreliable, unfaithful, and unjust. Interestingly, God defines our existence as one that is always under His complete control, providing us with a profound sense of security. He has redeemed us by implanting the seed of rebirth within us, a seed that symbolizes eternal life. However, God does not simply offer eternal life as an existence beyond the limits of time; He also grants us the accompanying blessings that come with it. This seed embodies the divine word of salvation, encompassing the fullness of life we experience, grounded in God's goodness, faithfulness, justice, and compassion.
