The Choice

We all make a choice.
Not a few of us...
Not some of us...
Not even almost all of us.
We ALL make a choice.

Carl Jung said this about the matter of choice:
I am not what has happened to me.
I am what I choose to become.

Many of us, I suspect

Live most days somewhere

Between Hope and The Abyss.
..
Too frozen to make a choice:
Letting the choice choose us.
We’ve had too many 

Sad and deflating choices to make...
Choices that brought Pains, Injuries, Exhaustion…

Break-ups and Break-downs…

Lost Loves, Lost Friendships

Lost Jobs and Homes

Lost Health, and even a little
 Lost Sanity.

We know for a fact that it is

More likely for Life

To be unfair than fair.

We have many Dreams but

Not enough Goals.

Hope tugs us in one way, and

The Abyss calls us in the other…

Too often…almost daily it seems.

And yet…

We are in control.

And so…

Starting here and starting now

Let us choose Hope.

Why?
Well, because…

God stands waiting where Hope is the choice...
Ready and Willing to share 
with us
The unforced rhythms of Grace.
We are not what happens to us...
We are what we choose to become.
