Choose Life

-
Moses said to Israel: Today I am giving you a choice. You can choose life and success or death and disaster.
I threaded my way between the overgrown graves in a old church yard. Most of the headstones carried the inscription "rest in peace" but the wording on one small grave read 'she was born on 1st April 1941 and fell asleep on 14th February 1945'.
What could have cause this little one to 'fall asleep'?
Her life was very short but most of us can look forward to at least a few or lots of years. What are we doing with this precious gift of time? We have a choice; we can choose to live or die right here and now. We can choose to embrace life with gratitude and enthusiasm ,or we can choose to take the path that leads to self-destruction. We must choose carefully, we must choose life not because we want to go to heaven one day but because we want to help create a better world.
This life is important; our scriptures honour life and encourage us to live it to the full.
They also urge us to to work for peace, justice and a good quality of life for all.
We have a God given opportunity to transform ourselves and in the process transform the whole world.The little girl that died so young did not have the opportunity to choose her life.
We are privileged to have the opportunity to choose life.
We can be kind, gentle and considerate to all the people and animals that we encounter every day. Have a great day!!

What does the Bible say about setting goals?

The Bible offers a balanced approach to setting goals that includes making plans yet doing so with wisdom and humility. Jesus’ illustration of building a tower implies that it is a good thing to have set goals ( Luke 14:28 ). To live with no motivation or planning is not God’s desire.  Proverbs 6:6-11  says, “Go to the ant, O sluggard;     consider her ways, and be wise. Without having any chief,     officer, or ruler, she prepares her bread in summer     and gathers her food in harvest. How long will you lie there, O sluggard?     When will you arise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber,     a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber,     and want like an armed man.” Laziness causes a person to neglect work and fail to exploit the window of opportunity. Summer is the preparation time for winter, and we dare not wile it away. Failure to plan ahead will result in “poverty” and “want.” Wisely setting goals leads to better results: “Th

How do I know if I am a Christian?

Jesus taught that the condition of a person’s heart will manifest itself in his or her behavior: “No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart” ( Luke 6:43–45 ; cf.  Matthew 7:16 ). So, when considering whether or not you are a Christian, you can consider the kind of fruit that is produced in the life of a Christian: 1.  Complete trust in Christ’s death and resurrection as sufficient payment for the debt we owe God.  A Christian is one who  trusts Christ  exclusively. Doubts come when we fear we must add something to the work of Christ to ensure our salvation.  Ephesians 2:8–9  makes it clear that we are not saved by our works, but by God’s grace alone. No matter how righteous we may appear, none of us come close to e
