Choices




I stand upon the threshold

of a brand new, spotless day,

And ponder all the choices

that surround me as I pray.



Because of my redemption,

and my gift from God above,

Today I'm free to choose,

and I've decided I'll choose LOVE.



For no occasion justifies

my hate or bitterness,

And love can cure a multitude

of ills that cause distress.



Today I'll choose to dwell in PEACE,

and quickly will forgive

Imagined hurts, and wrongful acts,

so I might fully live.



I'll choose to act with PATIENCE

as I go about my day,

And even though the wait be long,

I'll use that time to pray.



I'll choose to show true KINDNESS

to each person that I see,

And pray that they will see

the love of Christ alive in me.



Today I'm choosing FAITHFULNESS

to promises I make,

And I will be trustworthy,

and the truth I'll not forsake.



My choice is also GOODNESS,

and I'll strive for honesty

In every action that I take,

with true humility.



Today my choice is GENTLENESS

in every action done,

So I'll have no regrets

to feel at setting of the sun.



I'll strive today for SELF CONTROL

in thought, and word, and deed,

And choose the pure and noble things

on which my soul can feed.



If I have been successful

with the choices I have made,

And sleep tonight with conscience free,

secure and unafraid,



I'll praise my precious Lord above,

Who gives abundantly

His peace that money cannot buy,

and love beyond degree.



But if I fail to live today

the way I know I should,

And find I've chosen what is wrong,

instead of what is good,



In true repentance

I will bow before my Savior's feet,

And I'll find grace and His forgiveness

at the Mercy Seat.

[ 10 ] ~ But when ye go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the LORD your God giveth you to inherit, and when he giveth you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye dwell in safety;
[ 11 ] ~ Then there shall be a place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the LORD:
[ 12 ] ~ And ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your menservants, and your maidservants, and the Levite that is within your gates; forasmuch as he hath no part nor inheritance with you.

( Deuteronomy 12:10-12 )(KJV)


We can make our own choices in life, I choose serving God in Love.
