Choices, Choices

Choices…they are what life is made up of.  We choose to get out of bed, we choose what we eat, we choose who we spend time with.  We choose…that is what we get to do. We are not robots.  God has given us the ability to decern the best path for our lives.

I know that our world is not simple and choices are at times very complex.  For instance, there are those living in oppression, either in a relationship or under a form of tyrannical government – that are basically given two choices – do this and live or do that and die/suffer.  Most of us do not have to live in that type of world, but we still may have hard decisions to make.

Our ability to make these choices center around how our lives turn out.  Everyone has a chance to change their destiny. We can choose a good path or a bad path.  The bad path leads us to failure. The good, success.  

As adults, we have to hold the responsibility for how our lives turn out.  You choose to spend a life of drugs, anger, alcohol, bitterness – your life will be filled with pain.  You choose to spend your life in joy, peace, and love in spite of what you have endured, your life will be filled with greatness.  

I am speaking to anyone out there who believe that your life is out of your hands and you are going down a wrong path – you can change this!  You can turn it around!  How?  Choose life!  Choose God – press into Him.  Ask Him to help you find joy, love, and forgiveness.  Let Him lead you into  new destiny!

“I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;”

‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭30:19‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.”

‭‭John‬ ‭15:4-8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Be blessed everyone!  Live fearlessly!
