we are given freedom

we are given freedom

truly free to choose

to walk the streets of gold

to be with God or to burn

cut off for eternity

from the love of God

God loves us enough

to let each of us choose

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.
