Benefits from making our own decisions

It's very important to have our own mind and make our own decisions.  However, in making decisions, we have to always talk to God and think before we act.  We are accountable for our actions and at the end of the day, it's what we do that help us or take us back.  God gave us all a journey and each journey is different.  He knows where we are and what we do but He gives us choices so that's on us.  The world is full of stuff and there will be many who will try and turn you away from making the right choices but we can't blame them because most of the time, they are hurting themselves or dealing with things in their own lives.  When we utilize our own mind and do what we think is best, we make a difference and change lives, starting with our own.  God said be an example and we can't be an example if we're not making our own decisions and trying to do what's right.  Some of us have things going on that we know we need to fix starting with me but what I do know is when we do what we can when we can, things will get better so thank you God for the grace and the mercy.  The bottom line is the world doesn't stop for us and it's very important to make wise decisions to better our lives and to not worry about what others think or are doing but stay control over what we're doing.  If people really love us, they will make that known through their actions. Let's not be bothered by what people do but pray for them and ourselves so that we can make our own decisions to better serve the Lord. That's what life is all about and that's what will please God.  Amen and Thank You  Lord.
