The greatness of God’s creation regarding man is
choice. Unlike animals, humans have the ability to choose their courses. You
are not like the ant (preprogrammed) or like a bear operating on instinct. You
are not like a dog that reacts to its environment and becomes the sum of its
input.
No matter what has happened to
you, no matter how oppressed, you were given the power of transforming choice.
Our species alone can understand, reason, and make choices, the most important
being to choose to forgive, to truly love. In this regard, you were created to
be God’s image-bearer, to mirror love, forgiveness, grace and to choose that
which is necessary for you to be just, true, pure, and holy.
(Defeat Your Saboteurs, p 38)
