Humans were created with the troublesome characteristic of free will. Life would be so much easier if we could only make the right choices all the time, but that simply isn't the way that it works. We have the ability to make the wrong choice and through that God is able to see where our heart lies. Our actions and choices ultimately betray the intents of our heart. What message do we we send with our choices? Do we choose life?
