Predestination

I believe wholly in predestination, and I fail to understand why people have a problem with it. God knows everything; that is made quite clear. He knows the path you will take, and he knows how it will end. But that should not take away your hope. God knows that you will change your mind. What we do not realize is that our destiny has not been changed in the process. Our destiny has always been to make that decision, although it may never have been apparent to us. For example, if someone has been an Atheist for twenty years and is one day converted to Christianity, that person's life may be different as a result. However, that person's destiny has always been to make that decision; a life may be changed, but a destiny may not.
Our path is known by God, but do not believe he has constricted it. We must still choose the path; we must still make the decisions. Do not believe that things cannot be changed, or that you cannot determine your destiny. You decide your fate; you can change your life, but God always knew you would. God gave us our minds so that we could make decisions on our own. Do not let predestination bother you. You still have a choice. Just see the big picture, and realize that fate is there.
