Making wise decisions

God shows us all an image of ourselves and he also speaks to us about what's needed to better our lives as well as teaches us wisdom. He doesn't force us to do anything but he educates us on how to get through tough times without being stressed and have peace through it all.  It's up to us to see who we are, how we're handling ourselves and how our actions affect or help other people.  Everything we do in life has a positive or negative impact on somebody and God wants us to be a light to others so that he or she will not be in darkness, not try and bring them down.  We all have choices and whatever decisions we make in life, there are always good and bad consequences.  It's just not worth the time or effort to be negative in situations or try and bring people down but instead, love, be an example and give back what God has given to us.   God wants leaders to walk with him, to give hope to the world and to be an example for all.  In doing that, we gain peace, joy and we see God's work through others.  Let's value this gift and allow God to work in our lives.  Remember everything we do, either brings us closer to God or forces us to be disconnected from God.  Let's make wise decisions to better this life so that we may be with God and live eternally.  Amen
