I'm not sure of the origin of this observation, but I appreciate its simple message: "There are some things only God can do, and some things only I can do. Only God can save a person. Only God can forgive and forget our sins. Only God can change the human heart. But at the same time, only I can believe. Only I can repent. Only I can follow. God will not do those things for me, as He has given me a free will to choose."
The Bible tells us that it is God's desire that ALL be saved, and that He makes Himself known to all. Ultimately, however, each of us must make a choice regarding eternity: we must choose to accept His grace -- to surrender our silly concept of "control" -- or we must choose separation from Him.
Jesus said in Revelation 1:17:
"Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One; I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades."
Choose life. Choose Jesus Christ.
