There were a lot of quotes on decide that I liked, but I'm gonna go with the plain and simple Bob Marley:
"Every man gotta right to decide his own destiny."
It seems obvious, but it's really true. We have the freedom to decide who we will be, where we will go, what we will do, and when we will do it. Agency is one of the greatest gifts God has given us, but people often forget that decisions determine destiny. With every decision comes a consequence. You can't "decide" to do something wrong and get away with it. Every decision we make has a consequence, but by making the decision, we can choose the consequence.
Sometimes when we have questions, we want God to answer us and tell us what to do, but sometimes he wants us to make decisions for ourselves. Even though the decision process can be frustrating, it helps us to grow and become more like Christ, which is our ultimate goal.
Now that rings freedom to my ears, decision and choices, agency and freedom. They all go together. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThat is one of my favorite thing about hard decisions! They always take me closer to Christ. And I know He won't let me go down a wrong road for too long - just long enough to learn what I needed to learn. And then I guess it wasn't a wrong road after all - just another way to get to my destination :-)
ReplyDeleteI love that!
ReplyDeleteI love (and hate) that we have our decisions!
I think that everything happens for a reason!!! And that depends on what we have chosen before!
