The power of choosing

[fibiray]

How other people see you and behave towars you inevitably affects you. But this is not what determines whether or not you have self respect.
Your self respect depends on how you percieve yourself and what choices you make.
Your life is made up of millions of choices. They don't all need to be made wisely. In fact they won't be. But they do need to be made consciously, whenever possible.
You need to be conscious that this is you who is choosing, you who is acting, you who is reacting, you who is responding.
Your choices - especially your choices of values, attitudes and behaviour - will shape your life more powerfully than your genes, social conditioning, upbringing or opportunities.
The power to make positive choices is arguably the greatest gift that we human beings have. It is the gift of conscience and of consciousness. treasure it.

Choosing is our God given gift, choosing the right thing is our way of saying "Thank You"

Hi Fi, your share brought to mind the following;
Choose God's Wisdom

Today's Scripture

"God is more pleased when we are just and fair than when we give him gifts." (Proverbs 21:3)

Today's Word from Joel and Victoria

Because we are human, it is easy for us to let our choices be ruled by our emotions or to become impatient with God's timing. Many times we are even tempted to compromise what we believe in just because it feels good. It takes tremendous courage to choose what is right. But that's the great thing about it—God can give us all the courage we need for those important choices! Because we are new creations in Christ, those old ways of thinking don't have a hold on us anymore. We are free to choose for Him! You can choose the people you're going to associate with, the things you feed into your mind—and how you see yourself. The choices you're making right now will determine the kind of person you'll be, so ask God today to help you make the right choices, especially those that take courage to make.

A Prayer for Today

God, You give me the wisdom and courage to make good choices, even when I may be tempted to take the easy way out. Through You I have the ability to shape my future for good by the decisions I make today. In Jesus' name. Amen.

Flick I loved the post, god's timing has always been a struggle for me in the past as I am always in a hurry. Haste is the worse thing for any form of decision making or choices. This is where I need to learn patience. thanks for the post.
