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
