I Choose…

Dear Lord; Happy Saturday Father!

Today Father, I choose.

I choose to embrace the day that You have given me;

To rebuke those voices that try to steal my peace,

And remind them that I’m Your Beloved Child.

To view the world through eyes of faith,

Eagerly seeking Your hand in everything around me.

To love with abandon,

And to allow myself to accept the love of others.

To revel in the beauty of this world You’ve made,

And to bring that sense of wonder to everything I do.

To be grateful for all You’ve blessed me with,

And to share those gifts with others.

To remind those close to me how very much I love them,

And to honor them through my actions.

Today Lord, I make a choice.

I choose peace.

I choose joy.

I choose You.

For it’s in Your name I pray,

Amen.

    Amen, brother… “choice” is critically important. We don’t always focus on that, and then the tendency is to blame God for yucky days, etc. when, in truth, our JOY can only be taken from us if we “choose” to relinquish it. If we don’t “choose” to, but instead “choose” to allow Holy Spirit to maintain it, the enemy loses EVERY time. This post blessed me, as always.
