Team Talk The Bay Talks…. By Ash Someone once said, that God will never take away our free will. That was His gift to us. He will never force us to follow Him. He will never force us to love Him. It’s our choice. All that seems easy now doesn't it? When bad things happen, we always wonder why. Sometimes, even blaming God. The choices we make, can lead us closer to God or further away from Him. God allows bad things to happen to us. Not always easy to understand why He does what He does. He teaches us many things through trials and tribulations. And when the time is right, He also teaches us to rise again. Psalm 23 says… “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil”. You are not meant to stay there. He will walk you through it, if you ask Him to. Our happiness and peace depends on the choices that we make. We can’t control things in life. But we can control where our trust will be. Our hope. Our faith. We can choose who holds our heart and who will wipe away our tears. .” 21
