Just as I am

God, when he makes the prophet, does not unmake the man. . . . He [God] leaves all his [Man's] faculties in their natural state, to enable him to judge of his aspirations, whether they be of divine original or not. When he illuminates the mind with supernatural light, he does not extinguish that which is natural. . . . Reason must be our last judge and guide in everything.

John Locke

God doesn't rescue us from the consequences of our past, nor does He change our natures at the flick of a wrist. He, in His graciousness and patience, allows us to discover what we are and why we are using our natural abilities, talents, skills and our mind, body and soul.
