decisions, decisions...

As a christian, it's scary making big HARD life changing decisions becos...

• it might mean choosing what is RIGHT instead of how you feel
• it might mean choosing to LOVE instead of be loved
• it might mean thinking about what would JESUS DO instead of what would you do.

Take my love life for an example....I have a man who loves me, sometimes well, sometimes terribly...I chose 15 years ago to love him and only him....SO why is it when life gets hard do I act like I haven't decided yet????

Who am I kidding? I'm not that kind of person who makes big life changing decisions and then changes whenever I feel like it. I say statements like it just doesn't feel the same, I feel like...I don't feel like...this feels wrong...

BUT I am my Father's daughter...I should know that when I make statements like 'this feels wrong'...that the only thing that's really wrong is I am relying on my FEELINGS.

LOVE is a CHOICE I made a long time ago...NOT a feeling I felt a long time ago.

This doesn't mean I can't let my feelings guide me. BUT when it comes to love, feelings are what this world uses for a guide...as for us christians...
we have only ONE choice to 1stly: LOVE GOD FIRST AND FOREMOST
and 2ndly: TO LOVE OTHERS as we love ourselves
NOT love others INSTEAD of ourselves....

to all christians please note: the Lord doesn't say 3rdly: love ourselves....because most people already love themselves way too much and need to learn how to love others ;-)
