The reason why its been a while since I did anything I want to do is a matter of the choices I make that expresses my inner heart. I randomly asked SIRI on my Iphone 'How many choices does a person make in a day?' And she (or it... lol) brings me to this web search. Someone on a forum wrote: "There are over 1000 minutes in the average working day. At five decisions a minute, a person makes easily 5000 decisions a day. Few are earth-shaking, but all are the results of choices."
How about the choice of choosing God or the Devil? See, the messed up thing isn't the choice. The messed up thing is that some of us think we actually have a choice. My none-Jesus-lover friends think that as long as they choose neither God or the Devil, they're good. See, they don't have to choose the devil... they belong to him already.
What I am meditating on today is 'not my will, but His will be done.'
For your friend I would pray that they can choose. That ability is grace.
ReplyDeleteFor us, as Christians, to choose correctly is an expectation.
I look forward to the day that God looks me in the eye and doesn't say, "well done, good and faithful servant" but instead says, "As expected from a son of mine" (a line stolen from the naruto anime).
hmm you might want to elaborate on:

this can be misunderstood....
and becareful with this whole 'its been a while' attitude, it's dangerous
