Choices

So much of what we do and who we are revolves around our choices. I subconsciously make choices in every minute. I choose my attitude, my actions, my words, even my thoughts. I choose my reactions, my emotions.

I can choose to walk satisfied in the Lord, or I can choose sin.

I can choose to find my worth in Jesus, or I can choose to look for it in others and  myself.

I can choose to live with joy, or I can choose to wallow in my own self-pity.

I want to live like a sponge, soaking up water and goodness from the source and then wringing myself out to benefit others. Its easy to get caught up in my stuff, in the stuff around me, but its better to choose Jesus. All these things that I have to give up -  these filthy, dirty, scraps of nothing - are so little in comparison to what I gain from knowing Jesus. I am little, but He is everything. And that is what I choose to walk in.
