There comes a point in one's life when he realizes that his life is and has been chosen by him and that he is responsible for it.
These are hard words, but I think true. How might this fit into a theology of a greater sovereignty outside of ourselves?
Look at your hand.
You chose to do (or not to do) that. You choose to continue reading these words. You choose what you're going to do next and how you use the knowledge of your life to inform that decision. A sovereignty outside of ourselves, though I truly believe it, is inconsequential regarding your next decision to love or not love somebody, to move or not move closer to another, to heed or not to heed someone's advice.
Grace allows us to make good decisions. The presence of a Holy Spirit gives us the ability (also known as power) to do so.
But in the end, you are responsible for your life.
Matthew 25:31-46
