How are you choosing?

Only the real appreciation of the process, the voyage, the journey happens when we have the ability to see with new eyes. Knowing the landscapes seen does not have to change for us to see the beauty that lies before us, or in our past; we just have to be willing to look with transformed and new eyes. When truth appears and we see, what we see changes and we choose differently without the emotional baggage to impeded us. We just have to be willing to sit, stand, and watch the death, both figuratively and literally, of what once occupied the space, the place but hindered true view of what is, was, and always been there. Then we replace our construct of anecdotal foundation of logic and truth, with the one truth, right to the Father’s. Thus, we then can release the bleak, the fear, the dim light, and/or the madness that caused us to struggle, unnecessarily and the emotional upheaval, although not without pain, to receive the cleansing rush where choices are made in sincerity and none held back by our unbelief because we are able to believe. Seeing the Father’s abiding grace in our life, and we are granted free agent status to change, choose. Our state is now frames in this 2 Tim 2:15 – “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth. (NASB). How you are choosing reflects how you are believing and living your life.

See life is about choices, and we choose every day, sometimes we let man constructs determine our viewpoint or outlook, and then it dictates our state of mind, standpoint and our condition. Same is true when we let the word of God guide us. One enlightens, encourages, enhances, and elevates us to peace in a midst of storms, and the knowing God makes all things beautiful in his time. The other, man’s, does none of the aforementioned things for us, rather it binds, paralyzes, and fills us with insecurity and selfish prospective. All of it we have the ability to decide with our choice – from disposition to success to friends. How are you choosing matters at the end of the day because it is what tells others who you really are at the core. Romans 3:28; 31 - 28For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law… Do we then nullify the Law through faith? May it never be! On the contrary, we establish the Law. (NASB).
