There is much in the news today about CHOICES! There is the Pro-CHOICE group that says women should have the right to CHOOSE whether a baby is born(or they say they can choose what they do with their body). We want to have tests that are multiple CHOICE. We expect to have many CHOICES at every restaurant. It all comes down to what I want. We make decisions based on me, myself, and I.
One of the fascinating parts of my job is that the groups I work with realize the CHOICES they are making are not about one individual, rather they are made with the larger group in mind. Not only are the decisions made by and for those currently in the church family, but they are made with the vision of those to come and join later.
What would our world be like if we made decisions with less emphasis on the individual and more focus on those who could be affected by the individual? What if we made decisions with the "end in mind" and not just the present?
The CHOICES we make affect more than ourselves. Every CHOICE we make can and will affect how we relate to others and the impact we make on the world. Do we choose to love one another? Do we choose to protect the unborn? Do we choose to put positive messages in our minds or do we choose to listen to the noise that numbs us? It is your CHOICE and my CHOICE to be positive and change a life and impact someone today in a positive way, or it is your CHOICE and my CHOICE to miss that opportunity.
What CHOICE will you make today? Think about it. Count the Cost of the CHOICE.
