CHOICES
Every day we are
faced with choices.
What to wear.
What to eat.
Where to go or
stay home.
To pay our bills
or not to pay.
Some are simple
choices
Some are
difficult.
Sometimes life
brings us sadness and sorrow.
Sometimes we are
betrayed by our friends.
Sometimes life
brings sickness and pain.
Sometimes we have fear
and doubt.
The important
thing in life is the choices we
make in response
to our life experiences.
When life brings
us sadness and sickness,
we can choose to
become depressed
and spread our
mood to others.
Or we can choose
JOY.
JOY.
When a friend
betrays us, we can choose to be
angry and respond
with bitterness.
Or we can choose to
FORGIVE.
When we experience
sickness and pain,
we can suffer and
allow it to weaken us
until we can no
longer cope.
Or we can turn to the LORD for strength
and help.
When we have fear
and doubt,
we can allow it to
master us until we are
no longer able to
function normally.
Or we can recognize that these are
tools of the devil
to destroy us and
TRUST GOD.
These are only a
few examples of choices we can make in life.
I am resolved to
choose
JOY
FORGIVENESS and
to TRUST GOD.
