To Choose or not to Choose, that is the question.

Recently God has been revealing to me the power of choice. If we as children of God would grasp the concept of the power of choice we would live much happy lives. Most things, if not everything in this world is a choice. You choose to read this blog. You choose to eat, you choose to go or not to go to church. Life is full of choices.
Their are two very important choices I want to highlight. The first is the choice to love or not to love. A sister of mine and I were discussing today love. The fact that love is a choice. I choose to be patient with persons, I choose to be kind, I choose to forgive, I choose not to boast. We choose, making a constant decision to love each other unconditionally. It is in no way a feeling that you can experience.
Another choice we make is to sin. We choose to sin. The way out of the sin is right there yet, for short termed short lived pleasure we sin. We, by the leading of the Holy Spirit can choose the right path but i believe that we believe that we can do it by ourselves. It is impossible to overcome sin without the Holy Spirit. We choose to tune out the Holy Spirit and choose to satisfy the pleasures of the flesh. So what choice are you going to make. Are you going to choose to love unconditionally and to walk in complete obedience to God through the Spirit. Or will we choose constantly to stay a prisoner to sin. Its up to you. Choose?

More than the Hype!

A Good friend of mine and I we speaking today and she made an interesting point. We usually get so caught up in how much time we spend with God that we miss God. Things like 'we spent three hour praying today' or 'that prayer meeting lasted all day'. I am not saying that youn shouldnt spend all that time with God but check your motives. In that three hours you spent with God, what new did you learn about God. What did you learn in the alnight prayer meeting. Was it all about you? Or was it to be able to say that I spent three hours or all day with God today?
Today I urge us to check our motives. It is not about us and it never was about us. It will also never be about us. Don't get caught up in the hype!
