Of course accepting God's sovereignty is not an easy thing for sinful man to do, most of us find it a difficult transition.

It is lovely when people see the "sense" of Calvinism, some people even think that holding to TULIP is a constant battle, lots of things in life are a battle but but holding to the five points is not one of them. Living according to those points is much more difficult.
