Why do we, as human beings, often fall into the trap of self-righteousness, acting as though we know better than the One who brought us into existence? Why do we hold onto the illusion that our choices matter more than the Creator’s original purpose for our lives? These are questions that reveal a deeper truth: in our pride, we often forget the most fundamental aspect of our existence – that we were created by a higher power, one who designed us with a specific, loving purpose.
Think of a product created by a manufacturer. Once designed and built, it exists with a clear intention – to serve a particular function in a specific way. While the product may have some flexibility in how it operates, its core purpose remains fixed. No matter how much it may “feel” it has freedom, the product cannot redefine its reason for being. The manufacturer retains the power to restore it, no matter how much it strays from its original function. Even if the product is broken or malfunctioning, the manufacturer holds the authority to repair it.
In much the same way, we, as human beings, sometimes lose our way. We make mistakes, struggle with failure, and deviate from the purpose for which we were created. However, just as the manufacturer can restore a broken product, God—our loving Creator—has the power to heal and renew us. We may make choices that lead us astray, but they cannot alter the fact that we were created with a divine purpose. God, in His infinite grace, retains the power to restore and renew us, no matter how far we have strayed.
In those moments when we are consumed by self-righteousness or when we feel we know better than God, we must remember that our story was never ours to rewrite. Our existence, our purpose, and our destiny were lovingly designed by God, and He alone holds the power to restore us. Even when we rebel or act in ways that conflict with His will, He has the authority and the desire to redeem us. His love for us is unwavering, and His purpose for our lives remains intact, no matter what we may do.
The real question is not about the freedom we have to make choices, but whether we will recognise that the Creator is the only one who holds true authority over our lives. Our freedom is found not in rejecting His will but in trusting it—aligning ourselves with His purpose, knowing that He has the power to restore, renew, and transform us in ways that we could never imagine.
Ultimately, just like a product cannot escape its design, we cannot escape the divine purpose for which we were created. The beauty of life lies in surrendering to God’s will, knowing that when we align ourselves with His love and purpose, we experience the restoration and peace that only He can provide. Our lives are defined not by our fleeting choices, but by the Creator’s eternal plan for us, one that brings us into the fullness of who we were always meant to be.
