I know someone who humorously say to colleagues that "the ONLY one thing God has left you to handle will probably kill you" (actually when they do the same "wrong" over and over) by saying " its my choice" to him. Am thinking about that and i can deduce some senses from that. If you think pass that junction of religion and organised tradition by getting down to see the work of God in the schedules of nature( from the rising of the sun to the setting of it, the orderliness of ants, ushering of new born children in knowing what to do with the mother's milk and even the unfailing scheme of sleeping and waking, perhaps, how to compose lies also).
Deuteronomy 30 vs 15 - was clear able this; "See, I set before you life and prosperity, death and destruction" - NIV. The next verse is actually one of my Big concern ( Vs 16) it says " For i command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in obedience to him, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess" - NIV.
Did you see the things i'm seeing? Vs 16 mentioned "today" same was Vs 15. Oh, then its simple right? Today, you have a choice YET today you have a command. whatever you choose, you are still under a command to LOVE God, Walk in obedience, Keep his commands. It further appears if you think you have a "choice" in life ( I mean the right to anything you decide to do), you simply agree with VS 15; Well, if you obviously have that choice, then you are equally under that same command stated in VS 16.
Shall i say then that my joy is that God knew you would be here today(where you are with your life- by life i mean Spirit,Soul and Body) and if you need to know a little more about that, then know you are never Alone(God is omnipresent). God loves you and welcomes every prodigal child with a bigger party. At least, 1 Corinthians 2 vs 9 says - "However, as it is written: "What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived" -- the things God has prepared for those who love him-- " (NIV).
ON A LIGHTER NOTE (coupled with my personality), i would like to end with this; "What an injustice for you to deny the FULLNESS of God's love for you besides throwing that kind of special party (the kind of party nobody ever had a blog on before) and you still think your love can wait . Finally, you have a choice and always would but, you can choose to Love God back. He's always your Father and you are always his Son, Friend and *put your name*. Nothing is gonna make you more than that or less than but you shall still be left with finding out who he is to you and where are you with God.
