Choose Life!

I have set before you life and death -

blessing and cursing

therefore, choose life!

Deuteronomy 30:19

Choice: God's way - Not God's way, but Satan's

Our Father loves us enough to parent us with open hands. He is gentle in His way with us. He allows us to choose. He gives us the freedom to choose. He offers His way as a path we can follow or not. He never demands, He is totally honest and open. His way - love, grace, mercy - no condemnation, no finger pointing, no "I told you so", -  only acceptance and forgiveness. Life and life abundant - freedom to live in His protection, trusting in His sufficiency.

In trusting in the One who loves us, intercedes for us, died for us, our hearts and minds are guarded, resulting in:

Peace

Thankfulness

Patience

Joy

Freedom

Acceptance

The alternative - Satan's way - following the one who hates us, demeans us and wants to destroy us and our families. The one who is determined to distract us from spending time with our Lord.  He advocates the definition of success as the acquiring of power, position, prestige and possessions at the expense of ourselves, our families and our relationship with God.  The result? 

Anxiety

Worry

Anger

Fear

Deceitfulness

Worthlessness

Selfishness

Revenge

Choose life! The Father pleads!

We cannot walk two paths. We can't dabble in both. It is one or the other . . . 

Life or Death

Blessing or Cursing

God's way 

or Satan's

If we are not following the God who loves us - LIFE,

 we are following the god who hates us - DEATH!

CHOOSE LIFE!!!!!
