God created us with free will (self-choice) because He wanted us to love Him without force, because Love is patient, love is kind & it isn't forced upon us. (1 Corinthians 13:4-7) We choose who we love, we choose what we do each day, we choose who we dislike, because God gave us the free will to do so. He never created us to forcefully love Him.
When God set Adam & Eve in the garden, He gave them a choice & asked of them only one thing not to eat. (From the tree of knowledge) and they disobeyed because of self choice & temptation. (Genesis 3)
Because God gave us free will, temptation exists and we create sin. Something God never wanted, but was created through Eve's sinful act, which then created separation from God.
When making choices, we need to remember who created choices in the beginning & He never wanted us to not know Him, or sin against Him, but we do and we have.
In Christ there is forgiveness, and refuge & love. We just have to seek to believe, to love & to know Him.
The free will and choice to love Him because He loved me without difficulty from the begging & through my sin, was the best choice I ever made. He loves you even though you struggle and even though you have sinned. You are forgiven, set yourself free from burden. Because He's already set you free.
Praise Him because God is good!
I love you!
