decisions and consequences

In today’s world, we have to be careful to make wise choices because life is short and when we make bad decisions, we suffer consequences later. Each day is a blessing, each day is important and each day we’re here to become better people.  Let’s prepare ourselves to enjoy our days so we’re not dealing with things later in life.

I know for me, I made bad decisions because I wasn’t wise enough at the time and I really didn’t put God first. I’m dealing with consequences today but in due time, things will be fine.  I can’t take things back, but I can try and help to make things better.  I also know how to ask for forgiveness and let go and let God.  I wish those things didn’t take place, but I can’t be mad with myself because I really didn’t know the cost of the consequence that I had to face at that time.  It was after the fact that I learned and grew from my actions.  I wasn’t looking through God lenses, so I’ve learned to deal with it all with the help of God’s strength and grace. I grew in the name of Jesus through that trial and it taught me to think before I act.

Today is a new day and if we’re careful with our decisions and think before we do things, we can stay on the right path and not have to face as much later.  God said today is enough to handle so let’s not put more on our plate if we don’t have to do that on our journey.

If you have time today, take time out and ask God to give you strength to get through whatever you’re going through so you’re not making bad decisions and able to enjoy your days that are given each day.

Remember God is the one holding it all together and is the one who helps us cope when we’re dealing with consequences now, in the future and every time so be cautious of your actions, treat people the way you want to be treated and don’t sweat the small stuff.  If you have to make difficult decisions, ask God to guide you so you don’t have to deal with more later down the road. Also, if you have things that you’re dealing with, give those burdens to God and He will give you rest.  Lastly, we can’t blame others for our decisions but instead learn and grow from your mistakes and just pray and believe that God will help you through it all.

Amen and Thank You Lord
