God asks no man whether he will accept life. That is not our choice, we must take it. The only choice is how? – H.W. Beecher
The ‘Prodigal Son’ started out headstrong. Life intervened and he had to come to a decision. He eventually came to himself. AMEN!
Life ain’t easy, but it’s not as hard as most people make it. God actually designed it to be quite enjoyable, purpose-filled, and full of love. It’s when we get ourselves in the way, our wants, and our selfish desires; that it gets complicated and burdensome. When we live for the here and now without regard to the hereafter, we commit ourselves to a task of trying to get all our rewards in a short life span, and that’s hard and messy. Besides this world really has very little to offer for eternity sake. A life spent for God’s purposes and others will be totally fulfilling and eternally rewarded. We can not choose how or when we will die, but we can choose how we will live.
Until tomorrow……
