As a writing tutor, I help students improve their writing; however, I need to be careful not to give them too much help. It's sometimes tempting to simply correct the errors, but that's not my job. My job is to teach my students how to correct the errors themselves and avoid making those errors in the future.
God has a similar job. He could easily correct our mistakes or prevent us from making them, but what He really wants is to teach us and for us to improve. The goal is growth, not results. If all we wanted was perfection, and it didn't matter how we got there, then we could have gone with Satan's plan. It's far more important that we do this ourselves and have the opportunity to learn and grow.
