The choices we make

Choice is the most powerful force in our lives.
The power of choice is one thing that we truly own.
Alot of other things are quite temporary.
This life we live is determined by what choices we make along the way.
But...
Every choice has a consequence. Whether good or bad.
That, we have no control over.

Good or bad. You choose.

Hey Bianca
Thanks for leaving a comment! Nice to meet you.
I dont know if I agree. If we didnt have a choice over what God has planned for us wouldn't that mean we have no free will?
God does have a plan, but I think He will achieve it with or without us, if we make the wrong decisions about how we are going to live out our Christian walk or whether or not we will really surrender our lives to God then we miss out on what we were made to do.
Sometimes we will not have control over the circumstances we find ourselves in, but its what you choose to do in thse circumstances that makes the difference. The person who chooses to binge drink instead of seeking God is not living out Gods best for them, they are selling themselves short.

What do you reckon?

Hey Bianca

I love a good theological debate!!!
I agree with what you say. Its all good.
We can learn from mistakes, and also I do agree God does know what will happen to us all in the end...it is a sobering thought to think that God knows the destiny of every human on the planet. I guess thats why the most powerful thing any human can do is submit their life to God.

Oi, I noticed your from Texas, is everything ok over there. Weve been seeing stuff about a hurricane going through your area, looked bad!
