Choices

in choice •  7 years ago 

Sometimes choices are easy and obvious. Sometimes they ar difficult and uncertain. Sometimes you have friends and family to offer their opinions. Most of the time you will be on your own. a1drjohnthumb.JPG

Tonight I wish for someone to be aware. Someone to talk with. Alas, I am alone with my God.

The funny thing is, He seldom speaks. I ask, but it is impossible to get a solid answer. Honestly living this way is difficult.

Faith is the essence of things we hope for... the evidence of things we can not see. I find my faith fails me frequently. When my behavior is not based on faith... I seldom like myself. At many levels, I return to my sinful nature. I find comfort in my fear.

The point is, I (we) have a choice of how we live. It is my choice to trust God or not.

Writing this is probably foolish. Believers may not understand. Non-believers May laugh at my weakness. The point is, I am not a leader. Do not follow me. My choices are mine. You must make your own.

I try to live by faith in God.

If this were a television show, the director would cue the ‘canned’ laugh track.

Here is today’s beauty.

There are times we must ask for more faith to make it through. Keep knocking, the door will be opened. @ironshield

I think you have a great Faith in God. Thanks a lot for sharing your great thinking.

Very solid wisdom Doctor John. Remember, even Jesus himself had weak moments. It is written!

It is good to assess yourself and know yourself and willing to live yourself.

Whatever the matter may be, you won't walk alone. Our ideas may seem foolish to others but sensible to others. @doctorjohn, you are leader in this wise...

@doctorjohn
Faith and choice go together.
Nice post

I think the idea that my choices are mine and you must make your own choices is a very important point must people overlook.

@doctorjohn very nice written about faith and choice.. amazing one.
