Free will
Is There a Divine Plan—And If So, Why Free Will?
Many people ask, “If God has a plan, why give us free will?” We get confused between the energy of where do I surrender and where do I take action. Are the wrong actions being punished? If it is all for me, why do I have to choose? Does my choice matter anyway?
Let’s go all the way back to the Garden of Eden. God placed the Tree of Knowledge in the garden knowing Adam and Eve might choose it. So why plant it at all? Because love that cannot be chosen isn’t love, it’s programming. God did not want to create us as puppets. He created sovereign beings, capable of choosing devotion, alignment, and return.
The Tree was not a trap. It was a threshold.
The moment that we all have been taught about isn’t about failure. It was about awakening. It marked the beginning of conscious free will and with it, the birth of human responsibility. From innocence to awareness.
God’s Will Isn’t Control - It’s a partnership invitation. Many people fear they’ve strayed from “God’s will,” imagining it like a fine line thats impossible to walk … one wrong step and you’ve ruined your path. That you will be punished or are “bad.”
But that’s not how divine love works. God’s will isn’t fragile. It’s not a rigid script. It’s the rhythm of relationship with life. With choosing love over fear again and again.
God’s will is the energy that always flows in the undercurrent of your life. It meets you in the detours. It whispers in moments of quiet or the uncertain. It honours your participation and nudges you back not with punishment, but with invitation.
God’s will is not about being controlled. It’s about being in communion walking in alignment, together. Co Creating together. It is meeting the universe halfway.
SO … I want to tell you that Fate is Real—But So is Readiness
There are fated moments your soul came here to meet: The person who changes you. The breakdown that cracks you open. The catalysts that rock us to our core and the moments that we know we have reached out and touched the divine in some way. The breakthrough that feels holy. But fate is not forced upon you, we can be re routed and reminded but it doesn’t override your choice and free will. You have to choose to meet it.
You can’t miss what’s meant for you… but you can delay it. You can walk past it. You can loop for years until your soul, body, and spirit say: I’m ready now. or it shows up in a new form. You are always where you are meant to be because you are always in situations that allow us to choose the next moment, to meet the next bread crumb. But when the thing you say you want shows up - will you be ready?
Fate still requires your yes. It asks to be recognized. Free Will is a Holy Power We’ve been taught that surrender means passivity. But true surrender is an active choice of co-creation.
It’s not sitting back and waiting. It’s becoming open, clear, and aligned enough to respond when things arrive. Free will isn’t about controlling outcomes. It’s about participating with integrity, presence, and devotion. You were never meant to force your destiny. But you were always meant to choose it.
Understanding Timing:
There is another aspect that needs to be spoken about on this topic. It’s how fate and free will are also subject to divine timing. This is where many people feel lost. So here is a simplified breakdown for you.
1. Fated Timing
These are the soul appointments. The moments that were always going to arrive. The right person. The hard lesson. The divine redirection. They’re real. But they still require your readiness to receive them fully. They keep coming throughout life, inviting us forward.
2. Chosen Timing
This is shaped by your decisions. When you go all in on the moment. Or you delay what you know is true. When you keep entertaining what you’ve outgrown. When you finally say yes or you say not yet. Your choices affect the timing or pace of your path.
3. Divine Timing
This is when everything aligns. The soul, the choice, and the external moment all meet in one un imaginable moment. It can’t be forced. But it can be prepared for. And when it happens you’ll know. It feels sacred, inevitable, and unmistakable. You don’t control timing. But you do shape the field through your alignment. My guides call these nepsis points. They are the predestined pre fated moments on your path that you were always going to meet. They align and you are then changed. Often times this is deeply contractual with those around you.
So what do we do?
You listen. Not to fear, but to the truth underneath it.
You move. Not perfectly, but honestly.
You choose. Even when it’s messy, uncertain, or slow.
And you return. Every time you forget, you return to truth, to love, to God.
The Truth You Can Hold Today
You haven’t missed your path.
You haven’t ruined your destiny.
You aren’t broken or too late. There is still time.
You are not being punished.
You are standing on sacred ground the exact intersection where fate, free will, timing, and God’s will meet and from this place… you get to choose again.
Remember:
Fate is the seed.
Free will is the soil.
Alignment is the weather.
And you are the gardener.
Choose with presence.
Move with intention.
Return again and again to what you already know is yours.
God’s will invites you deeper.
Fate brings you to the edge.
Free will crosses the threshold.
And destiny begins to bloom.
