Making the RIGHT choices

'It is the choices that make us who we are, and we can always choose to do what is right.'
~Spiderman 3~

Througout our lives, we are bound to make choices. Sometimes it's easy, sometimes it isn't. At this point of my life, I am expected to make many choices and I have made some of the toughest ones.

Just not long ago, I rejected a golden opportunity in Japan and I was down for a bit. That's something I wish for for a long time and God gave me the chance. I had a real struggle, minds contemplating constantly inside me. Another lady friend of mine, she is having the same struggle at the moment. I totally feel for her. You see, it's easy to make the right choices but it's hard to please everyone with your "right" choices.

Child: "Is that Your will for me to go there, God? You've opened the door for me, haven't You?"
God: "My child, I've answered your prayer. It is a beautiful thing to have choices in your life, that's why I give you the freedom to choose."

Child: "But why do You give me the chance if You don't want me to go there?"
God: "Remember the story of Abraham? I didn't really want him to sacrifice Isaac as a burned offering. What I wanted to see was if he had faith and was willing to submit to my command."

Child: "God, it's so hard to know when You mean what You mean. I'm no god myself."
God: "My beloved child, I only say what is true and there is no hiding behind it. Be close to me, and you'll understand me more."

Child: "Yes, God. I'll learn to be submissive to You."

Therefore, my dear friends, make the wise choices and rejoice in God.
