Father and the Free-will

The role of the Father is a tough one. The Father wants the children to make the right choices and walk the right path. The path He has made us for. He gives us opportunities to learn the needed skills. He shows us the path. However, He also gives us the free-will to choose our path.
He is elated when we follow what He desires - when we choose His path.

He is helpless when we take a different call. Nevertheless, He is there - always - to help us out to change course/ choose the best amongst those availalbe if we listen to His word.

It is very difficult to give the freedom to choose and even when the child makes a different choice that what you wanted, to keep loving and not be upset or angry. That is real Godliness that we have to learn as good human beings. This is the real meaning of freedom to choose. To offer continued, unconditional support to the child whatever the child decides. And, results that the child gets are then essentially due to free-will.

So, what we get as results are also an outcome of our choices when we had the freedom to choose. If our choices are aligned with God's path, the result will always be a blessing.
