The illustration is good. So many people spend so much time worrying about God's will when it is an area of freedom. If we only spent as much effort avoiding sin! What a nice post!

To walk with someone requires direction, magnitude, and relationship with that person. Paul lives a good example of this in acts 20-21. He understood that God wanted him to go to Jerusalem, but a good deal of the trip seemed to be done through his own reasoning. I don't think divine preference and living as free as possible are contradictions. To be fair, the illustration given in Scripture is to walk with God.

I would add on that they've failed to love God with their soul, but such a person obviously doesn't have one. Tim, are the two necessarily mutually exclusive? Why? Rightly said, Henry!

Tim, are the two necessarily mutually exclusive? Why?
