Use your gift of choice well

We all have one thing in common we enter this world through the birth canal of our mothers.

While we are babies and children our mothers and fathers make our choices for us. As teenagers we are trusted and allowed by our parents to make certain choices for ourselves.

The one important thing we have in common is the right to choose. And that right was not given by our parents it is given to us by Almighty God.

We can trace our human existence all the way back to the Garden of Eden when the first man became a living soul by the breath of God breathed into his lungs. The freedom of choice has been given to all men since Adam.

As adults we make the individual choices of how we live where we will live what we will do with our lives and how we will live them.

What we determine to do with our lives determines the outcome whether good or bad. Good choices bring to us good things in life bad choices bring bad things.

In the matter of free will choice we are all equal but in nothing else are we equal because the choices we make separate and divide us.

Some of us choose to become educated some of us do not, some of us choose to do the things that will make us wealthy some of us do not some of us choose to live good moral upright lives some of us do not. Our choices of how we live separate us from one another and will never allow us to be equal.

We can lower the education standards in attempt to make students equal but that does not bring equality. We can take from the wealthy and give to those who have less but that will not create equality. Those who live by good moral standards can lower their standards to match the immoral but even that will not make them equal.

We had no choice concerning our birth or to whom we were born that was determined by God.

Some of us were born into very different kinds of family’s some to poor some to middle class and some to wealthy you see at birth we were born UN equal.

The one other thing that we are equal in is death we all live a few short years and then we die. We can make our choices of how we live but we have no choice in death.

The time of our  birth and the time of our death was determined by Gods choice neither will we have a choice after this life has ended in determining our eternal destination because God has kept that choice reserved for Himself.

There is a part of all of us deep inside every heart that desires to love, worship praise and serve someone or something and if you will look around you will see the someones,and things that people love, worship praise and devote their time and efforts to serving which is by their free will choice.

God intended that longing deep inside our hearts to express our love,worship,praise and devotion to Him by our keeping and living by His commandments and following His example shown to us by Jesus who lived just a little over 33 years and died clean without one spot or blemish of sin.

So in summing it all up the fact is everyone has been given from birth the most valuable gift from God the gift of free will choice.  It is by our choice whether we live a good and wonderful life on earth or whether our lives are bad and miserable. It is by our own free will choice that our eternal destination is made on earth. Once we are in the grave our choice ends and our eternal destiny becomes Gods choice and we know already what His choice will be.

Use your gift of choice well because your eternal destination depends on it!

Joshua 24:15 (NIV)

But if serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”

 2 Peter 3:9 (KJV)

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Corinthians 5:10 (KJV)

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
