Does God consciously make decisions or pull the strings?
I think it’s more of an interaction. As we engage with God and life, this relationship produces actions and reactions, sometimes good, sometimes bad. Depends on the type of engagement.
An intelligent source that needs agents and directors to produce and create.
An intelligent source that flows, but needs winds to move it and hearts to guide it.
We are those sailors of the heart, but we are not just sailing with the wind – we are having a hand in its direction.
Helming the ships of destiny.

Here is another short story I wrote regarding this same theme – sailing on the seas of the heart. Something I keep coming back to again and again.
