Choices

This is a picture I recently completed titled "It is finished". This was Jesus' choice.

That's what life is all about - isn't it? Every day and nearly every minute we make them. Either consciously or unconsciously. So what determines our choices....Family, Friends, Upbringing, Environment, Life Stage, Education, .....and Faith. Do you believe in right vs. wrong, black vs. white (not indicating race) or are you more into the "gray" areas and believe in "live and let live". Do you exist by acting or reacting? That too is a choice. There are as many answers as there are questions.

We studied that God gives us that right to make these choices. But to understand that there are rewards, blessings, repercussions, and consequences to them also. That is NOT saying that God will always punish us for poor choices but He will allow us to realize and endure the results of them. But in His grace, as His children, we will never be alone - no matter what. He is always with us...good times and bad. He desires us to make right choices, as any parent does, because through them He can bless us as He wills. His ways are always right and always for our good. If we will open our minds and hearts to His still small voice He will light our paths and make the way clear. Seek Him in His Word and in prayer. He is waiting for you. It's your choice.
