Recipe # 7: Everyone has a choice.

Everyone has a choice. So with that, we think that we have total control over our lives. "Well, I chose to do it, so it's been done," or whatever it is one might say. And in that, we think God only has some control; God has all the control. I was thinking about this and I thought that if God knows all things before they happen, then would He not already have a solution or outcome for whichever choice we make? Of course; it makes sense. Think of it: we can chose to Love God and do His Will and Law, or we can choose not to. Either way, the outcome of whichever choice you make is not in your control, hence, Free Will. We have the Free Will to make the choice and accept the outcome. But the thing about it is is that if we pay close attention, God has given us the things/information/signs to help us make the better choice. And to add to that, if we make the wrong the choice, recognizably to ourselves, God Loves us so much that He gives us chances to make another choice for the better. The offer stays open. This all came to mind when I said the Serenity Prayer the other day and stopped myself because, to be honest, I was afraid to admit that I only have control over my choice but not the actual outcome. But then I stopped myself again and reminded myself that I was never in control of the outcomes of my choices, period. I was only in control of the choice. And I need to acknowledge that God is in control of my Life. It will go much easier, too, if I put my full faith in Him at all times and trust that I know He wants what is best for me. The strength is also in asking Him to help make the right choices, and in accepting and acknowledging where He leads you because it does hurt when it looks like you aren't going in the direction you thought you should go. But that's the flesh, and the flesh is weak and very changeable. I'm not tryna get all religious; just thought I'd share some Spirituality on here. Feel free to leave a comment.

Live. Laugh. Love.
