Follow only what is good. Remember that those who do good prove that they are God’s children, and those who do evil prove that they do not know God. -3 John 11 (NLT)
CHOICES
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do your actions prove you belong to God’s camp?
Is your life shining of goodness like a lamp?
Follow only what is good and righteous
If you are his child, you will follow Jesus.
Remember that those who do good will have life
Those who do otherwise are in bondage and blind
Will you take the right path to salvation?
Will you continue to take the road to damnation?

Choice is defined as an act of selecting or making a decision when faced with two or more possibilities. Most people who live peaceful and happier lives have made choices that brought them to where they are. There are some people who never make choices. Their lives are full of confusion, conflicts and irresponsible behavior. They procrastinate as a result of not wanting to make a decision. It is very unhealthy not to make choices because our lives are defined by the choices we make.
I am still suffering consequences of many wrong choices I made when I was not aligning my life to God’s will. The bible warns us to make a choice to be righteous or do evil. Our actions result from the choices we make or we don’t make.
PRAYER
Lord, keep me in your will always.
REFLECTION
What consequence have you suffered as a result of a wrong choice?
