choices

​I hope everyone knows that we’re definitely in a spiritual warfare.  Everything around us is either good or evil.  God gave us a life to live on this journey through it all and He gave us the ability to make our own choices and decisions.  Sometimes we mess up and sometimes we have to deal with uncomfortable situations.  In whatever situation we find ourselves in, we always need strength to help us cope and deal with what we have on our plate at the time.

Being in a spiritual warfare is pretty much choosing good or evil and deciding who you’re going to serve.  I can tell you one thing - God is truly the vine and the light and if you want to prosper or be happy and be at peace, you must choose God because that only comes from Him.  When we choose God, our lives change and we become better people, we become loving people, we gain joy and wisdom to know what to do in situations and know where to go to get strength to keep fighting in this warfare.

Sometimes it’s easy to not choose God because the world tries to put pressure on us and we get stressed and do things that are not good for us.  Also, when we choose God, there’s sacrifice on our journey and sometimes people don’t want to do that in their lives.  I’m here to tell you that nothing good that comes is easy and when we sacrifice or have to go through some things, we will always win.  Even when we think we’ve lost; we’ve won because there’s a lesson to learn in everything situation. We have got to learn to grow in the name of Jesus.

Making decisions are sometimes not easy but when we choose God and allow Him to work in our lives, He helps us in situations and help us to make our lives better.  I know that’s true because if we think back on how things were and how things are now and think back on where we would be if it wasn’t for Jesus, we would know where all of that came from. On the other side of it, if we don’t choose God, we have to go through so much chaos and stress in our lives. 

The bottom line is this: It’s your choice in how you want to live your life, it’s your choice in what you want out of life and it’s your choice in how to handle situations that you encounter.  Whatever choices you make, please remember that we all are God’s children, and He doesn’t want us not to be happy but want us to have peace and joy while serving and giving hope.  It’s your choice.

I know in my life when I wasn’t connected to the vine, I had so much stress in my life.  My life was on a pause and I wasn’t happy.  I didn’t have no peace and I was miserable.  It’s when I reconnected myself to God my life changed for the good because I know there’s a God that loves us, that forgives us and who gives us strength each day.  Think about your life and know that it’s easy to fall when we’re not serving for the good but it’s hard to get through each day when we’re stressed and not happy.  Think about it.
