Can God change my mind?

All too often this question has been argued. If God is sovereign, can we really have a choice?
I think there is no end to this argument because it depends on which angle one takes. For me, God does change my mind but not by force. I choose.  God does nothing to make me change my choice.
He simply is. All of Him becomes more and more real and apparent to me. As the clutter leaves my mind, when I see a little more clearly, and God reveals who He is – one who:
  • Has unlimited patience
  • Has unlimited power / Strength
  • Has unlimited love and forgiveness
  • Is the beginning and the end
  • Is almighty and able to save
  • …….
When my eyes are upon the Creator God / Saviour, nothing else matters, no problems are too big for me, and I naturally will do the things that pleases God. If I am doing something outside of God’s will, I will choose to change because of conviction. God did not have to do anything, He does not need to bend my arms nor force me to do anything against my will. He’s simply just being Him…..

Quotations:

God starts us out on a life course to fulfill a certain purpose and then, only when we are ready, He gives us course corrections. Like a good river pilot, He steers us away from troubled waters, and like a good coach, He never puts us in the game until we are ready. The journey is never boring.

REMEMBER THIS ABOUT YOU...

  Read this out loud to yourself, and mean it!!

  I am precious, valuable, lovable and capable.
  The world will not be the same without me.
  I make a difference in this world, in the community I live in.
  I can make another person smile.
  I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
  I sing for I am loved by a great God whose nature is to give  love, mercy and grace.

  [In Hindi]
  Mai amulya hoon.
  Yeh duniya mayray bina wahi nahin rahegi.
  Mayray hone say is duniya mein kuch badlav hai.
  Mujh se doosre ke chahre pay muskuraahat aati hai.
  Mujhe bhayankar se banaya gaya hai.
  Mujhe gaana hai ki ek mahaan; ishwhar mujhe pyaar karte.
  Hain aur mayray prati daya dikhaate hain.
