Okay, so I was driving home last night and it came to me how we were chosen but we have free will thing. God chose all of us, all of mankind. He loves us all, each and everyone of us. He made the choice to send Jesus, his only son to Earth so that our sins attoned for by his death. He made the ultimate sacrifice watching his only son tortured and death on a cross. He chose us! It's up to us to use our own free will to choose him. He loves us but wants us to have the free will to make our own choice. It's all pretty clear now and it will be interesting to see how my pastor explains it and if I am even close to be correct about this.
That word choice seems to have been coming up a lot in my life lately. Maybe I am clearly seeing for the first time how much we can change ourselves simply by deciding to make the right choices. I have for too many moons been using excuses like it's my hormones or whatever but the truth is everything we do is a choice and God gives us the power to not only make that choice but live up to it. I may be grumpy from hormonal imbalance but I can choose to not be grumpy and call on my God to help me ungrumpify. I think you have to come to a place where you realize you need help in pretty much everything and God is the only one out there that will consistently be there and guide you. Choices. What can I choose to do today that would be a reflection of God? I will start by choosing to be positive and have a kindhearted, caring and patient attitude with my children, my co-workers, my husband and my friends. What choice will you make today to bring glory to God?
