"If you want to build a ship, don't drum up men to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yern for the vast and endless sea." ~~Antoine de Saint Expery~~

Choices

Days are filled with choices, hard ones easy ones, inbetween ones. That is what our world is about. To steal the idea from "You've got mail" (a great movie), even with something as small as a cup of coffee you can make a lot of choices. What size? Cream? Sugar? Black? To go? To have in? There are just so many options. Like when someone says something really mean to you. What to do? There is a verse for that. Read Luke 6:28-29. Jesus says simply, love. That's it, love. So what do we do when we face choices? Do what He did and love. If it isn't loving to do what you are doing than don't do it, one should always choose to love. This is a hard one to do, maybe one that we must all really work at until our last breah on our last day but it is worth it. For what we do today may seem small and maybe a come back to a harsh word seems easy and fitting for today but it is in eternity that the choice of love will pay off. Oh, God let us be a generation that seeks Your face.
