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.
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.
