WHOSE CHOICE IS IT?
When sitting in a stillness before God, I often ponder my choices.
· My choice to be quiet and choose rest.
· My choice to live a life of faith.
· My choice to forgive others leads to my freedom.
· My choice to let go of the things I cannot control.
· My choice to accept the promises of God for my life.
· My choice to trust in His faithfulness regardless of my circumstances.
Life can be difficult and draining. We encounter problems, failures, and various overwhelming issues. Often, we want to shift blame and point a finger. We can easily fall into a “victim” mentality. We feel defensive.
After years of coaching and mentoring, I wrestle with the profound question: “Who is in charge of me/you?” Is it your boss, your neighbor, or your little brother? Is it still your mother or father? At some point, we all realize that we must take responsibility for our daily responses and decisions. We can aimlessly blame our lives away, like a victim, or we can take smart steps to walk towards a victory for greater, more powerful tomorrows…. starting today!
