HAPPY MONDAY!
A frustrating truth prompts today’s word-of-the-week…
SERIES
The important matters in life are a series of repeated choices.
We don’t choose to love someone and then forget it. We must repeat the choice over and over, because loving is difficult, we change, and people change.
We may forgive a horrible wrong, but we’ll likely need to forgive it again and again, perhaps daily, perhaps even hourly.
It’s easy to get discouraged. I already chose not to be controlled by that fear yesterday, and it’s back today. But that’s how it works, I think.
A series of repeated choices.
The good news is that things like love, forgiveness, and courage can become habits. If we train for them, practice them, they can get a bit easier. But in the really tough times we still have to choose them, day by day.
The REALLY good news, though, is that we’re not in it alone.
Take Courage. I Am. Don’t Be Afraid.
Jesus, I Am, puts Himself in the middle of the struggle, between the courage and the fear. I get to lean on Him.
When I mess up, that’s good to remember.
On this Monday, what repeated choice would you like to begin making?
HAVE A GREAT WEEK!
