"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I ... I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all
2 Corinthians 1:20 (VOICE)
In Jesus we hear a resounding “yes” to all of God’s many promises. This is the reason we say “Amen” to and through Jesus when giving glory to God.
There is a way that seems right to man, but the end...well you know the rest of that sentence-the end is death.
When I was young I thought it truly meant "death"You know, dying-leaving the earth, but over the years I have learned that death is simply the absence of LIFE! You may be wondering what that has to do with my post, well here we go.
Many times in my life I have struggled with saying YES to what I knew was right because I wanted to do something else and what I wanted just didn't seem bad and I could not understand why I just shouldn't or couldn't do what I wanted to do. As you can guess I learned many lessons the hard way.
Choosing my own path caused me and those in my life undue hardships and pain. Please understand, I am not saying when you do everything right you will not experience pain and suffering, no we live in a fallen world, but what I am saying is when you say YES to the path God chose for you, You will have everything you need to overcome!
See, I needed a lot of miracles-divine intervention- in my life because I found myself in trouble alot from choosing my own way. As I am learning through my Spiritual Father there is a way higher than receiving a miracle from God. There is LIFE EVERMORE! This is when we choose righteousness, peace and joy in every situation. When we do not have to choose any longer to say YES, but we live a life that is a permanent YES to His will and His way. YES becomes who we are and not what we do/choose!
A few years back our Pastor gave us all a white rock that symbolizes God's YES to us-I keep it on my nightstand and anytime I struggle with my YES to His path for me I pick up my rock and remember He created me and He knows the path He created for me and therefore I choose Him and His ways.
My desire is to see the hearts and minds of men changed and that they will come to know the Great Creator-the one who loves them and gave it all ALL just for them. So although today I am still "choosing" to say YES I strive to come to a place where my life , how I live daily is just simply YES. I want to become YES! I want to be LIFE to others! I want to bring LIFE to situations and not death! YES and AMEN!
I CHOOSE LIFE, therefore, I CHOOSE YES!
