Question:

What is Free will?

​

       Our free will and the power to choose are both a blessing and a burden. It is the source of our most outstanding achievements and our gravest mistakes.

 

       In this world, where love is meant to be the prevailing force, the contradicting nature of free will presents itself. While free will is a unique and precious gift, it is also a double-edged sword. It allows individuals to make choices that either nurture and enhance love or block and undermine it.
 

       Our free will allows us to make decisions that are not always aligned with love. It enables individuals to prioritize their self-interest, leading to actions that can hurt others and create division. It can breed selfishness, cruelty, and the pursuit of power at the expense of love and compassion.

 

       Balancing Love and Free Will is a challenge for humanity.  We have to strike a balance between the gift of free will and the power of love. While free will gives us the capacity to make choices that block love, it also allows us to choose love. Love requires conscious, intentional choices. Love asks us to use our free will to overcome our own worst tendencies and ultimately to God's Love.

 

       The uniqueness of free will as both a hindrance and a promoter of love is a unique challenge for humanity. It is up to everyone to use their free will in ways that align with the universal force of God's love and to choose empathy, compassion, and unity over hatred, division, and selfishness. By doing so, we can harness the immense potential of free will to overcome its inherent contradictions and allow the power of love to prevail in our lives and the world. Love is the most powerful force in the universe, and when used wisely, our free will can amplify its transformative impact.

 

       Love is so powerful, and yet it fails to eradicate narcissism (the free will choice to be cruel, selfish, and manipulative without regard for the well-being of others). We can be sure that God's love is pure and strive to live according to His love and desires.
