standing before God

to choose rebellion

or to faithfully go

to submit our will

or hold it tight

the extent of freedom

in our own right

this poem and all of the following poems are from The Shack

and are about trying to understand or comprehend

the ideas of free will, predestination,

and omniscience, an all-knowing God.
