I Choose Love... no situation justifies hatred. Today I will choose love and what God loves.
I Choose Peace... I refuse to fall into the trap of the lazy thinker. I refuse to see anyone as anything less than human beings created by God. I refuse to see any problem as anything less than an opportunity to see God.
I Choose Patience... I will wait on the Lord for things I think I need now. If I pray for something I think is critical, I will wait on the Lord with joy and courage.
I Choose Self-Control... I have been saved by God's grace and faith and trust in Jesus. I will be influenced only by God and taught only by Jesus and the Holy Spirit. This I will do by faith.
I Choose Kindness and Goodness... I will be kind to the poor and the unkind for this is how my God has treated me. I will be honest and not boast and I will confess before I accuse.
I Choose Gentleness... I will raise my voice only in prayer and praise. If I make a demand, may it be on me.
I Choose Faithfulness... I will keep my promises of what I have chosen to do. No one will question my word. I will seek God's face and not only His hand. I will seek the will of my Lord and do it.
If I fail in any of these choices, I will seek His grace and know He will forgive me. My voice matters to Him. Evening, morning, and at noon, He hears my voice. Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you.
I choose to give God all the glory and honor for anything good that I may do. It is my desire that one day He will say to me, "Well done My good and faithful servant".
Max Lucado Psalms 55 Proverbs 28 1Timothy 5 Hebrews 6
