You answered your own question beforehand.
Quote:If god designed us to be able to think for ourselves, then that is what's going to happen. We will think, question and may even find our own way.
By allowing God to guide us, we show that we love and trust in Him. We find our own way by trusting in God's plan and following it to the best of our abilities.
That's where free will comes in. We have the choice between good and evil so that we aren't automatons in our decisions, and God guides us along the proper path.
