Gotta make a choice

God. We’ve all heard about Him, many of us believe that He exists. Some know Him, or talk to Him, and there are those who wonder about Him. Still others curse Him. You will have to choose Who He is to you.

You will show the world (at least your little part of it) who God is to you, and you will do it every single day. You will do it by your choices.

That little word..choices..keeps coming up, doesn't it? When you were a small child, you learned how to make choices. Did your mom let you pick out what to wear? Did you help choose what to serve for dinner? As you've aged and matured, your choices are far more important, and far more revealing.

You'll see and feel the importance of your choices from here on out. You will choose a career..a car..a friend..a spouse..a home..debt..activities..integrity.. Will you push the envelope a tiny bit further each time you stretch the truth to someone? Will you become accustomed to stretching the truth?

Your choices - big decisions or smaller ones - will reflect your character, morals, standards. If you are a Christian - a follower, a disciple of Christ - those around you will pay attention to the small decisions you make. They'll expect your larger choices to be made in the same way.

Are the choices you made today reflective of Christ? Will someone doubt Him because of the way you reacted to someone? Did you laugh at that man you saw at the grocery store? Did you "share" your work with someone? Did you lie to the waiter at the restaurant to get a discount on your meal?

Someone is watching and listening to you - LOTS of someones are watching and listening to you. Make your choices reflective of Him! See people the way He does!
