CHOICES IN LIFE

CHOICES IN LIFE Life is nothing IF but a life of choices Where are we going to school? Who will I marry/or will I marry at all? What will be my career path? And on and on and on But the one choice That is most important is: WILL I believe in God? Will I believe in THE CHRIST CHILD-and- Will I believe in LIFE EVERLASTING with them? “We saw his star …..... And have come to pay him homage” Matthew 2:2 That was the CHOICE Of the three kings-the MAGI But what is your choice? What is mine? CHOOSE God and Jesus Choose life CHOOSE the GOODNESS in this world You see As SURE as I am sitting here Writing this That is how sure I am That God is ALIVE That is how sure I am That Jesus Christ-is the MESSIAH- The SON OF GOD Just as SURE as I am sitting here You see-I was given up For dead-WHEN I was 22 I had come to the end Of what medical science could do PRAISE God-PRAISE JESUS CHRIST- LIVE a life of love and GOODNESS That is what I will do-or attempt to do UNTIL the end of time That is MY CHOICE And that is what I CHOOSE To do-out of my LOVE FOR GOD And out of my love FOR ALL OF MANKIND (Just as Jesus taught me to do) “But if SERVING the Lord Seems undesirable to you Then CHOOSE for yourselves This day Whom you will choose …..... But as for me And my household WE WILL SERVE THE LORD” Joshua 24:15 I was BROUGHT UP On God From the time I was an infant I thank God and Jesus I thank MY PARENTS I will FOLLOW GOD and Jesus UNTIL the end of time “You did NOT choose me But I chose you And appointed you So that you might go And bear fruit- FRUIT that will last So that whatever you ask In my name The FATHER will give you This is my command LOVE EACH OTHER” John 15:16 Jesus was a polarizing figure EVEN in his time You either LOVED HIM And would give up your life For him Or like King Herod You tried to KILL-or discredit THE NEWBORN KING You only get ONE LIFE And it is too important To be on the wrong side of this DON'T BE like King Herod Don't choose evil Don't choose to be self-serving Like many of our men and women In today's world LOVE ONE ANOTHER CHOOSE God-Choose Jesus- CHOOSE LIFE THIS is the ONLY CHOICE That really matters In today's world Robert P.
