Why does God give us the choice of who to follow? God is not a dictator so He will never force us to follow Him. He does not desire to be worshiped out of obligation but instead out of choice to love and follow Him.
Yes, we’ve all had to take one path over than the other, because we can’t do both at the same time BUT God does allow us to choose the other path we did not take after we accept Jesus as our savior. But the "What if's" are still very present. For me my what ifs were...if I had continued on my original path (the one rejecting God) where would I be right now? Also, I often wonder where I would be today if I had never rejected God and had chosen the other path. Robert Frosts poem entered into my life in a high school Lit class and that poem stuck with me while I was still a million miles away from God. Then when I allowed Jesus in in 1996 at age 30 that same poem surfaced in my mind, and I realized that God was allowing me to now walk down the other path.
