"Parents can only give good advice or put them on the right paths, but the final forming of a person's character lies in their own hands." - Anne Frank
This quote means a lot to me in many ways. I've heard this many times in my lifetime, from some that are believers in Christ and from some non-believers. Some on both sides have said, why is there evil in this world? Why would a loving God allow this to happen? How can you believe in something but not be able to see it? Well, let me explain.
We were all put on this earth for a reason. We were intricately designed by a loving, caring, and intelligent Creator. God allows evil on this earth for a temporary time because he wants us to have a free-will, or choice. To either choose to believe in Him and His son, Jesus, or reject Him and live on this world and do whatever we please. His love will never change for us because He gave Jesus, to die in our place.
But one of the main reasons I like this quote from Anne Frank is because is reminds me of my parents. I don't know what I would be today if my parents hadn't taught me the right way. They have taught me the Godly principles of being a follower of Christ. They have shown me the right path. In the same way God is our Heavenly parent, showing us the right way, but it is our choice to choose the path that we want to go on. No one can make the decision for you except yourself.
