If God has given you anything, it is just the freedom, the power, and the responsibility to create yourself. You are your own father. God is just the background. God is just the canvas on which you paint yourself. God is the brush, God is the color, God is the canvas; but the design and the painting is yours.
If what you paint looks horrible, do not blame God. God gave you choice. You misused the choice, or you used it terribly well, both possibilities are there. On the same canvas, with the same brush, with the same colors, the painting can be awful or awesome. You are the painter, God is the facilitator.
