There is a song by The Fray with a line of lyric that reads "Sometimes the hardest thing and the right thing are the same" It's been released on CD for sometime and every time I hear it, I'm reminded of choices. In particular, my hard choices, my right choices that I have made thus far in life and those I have yet to make.
It's true. Good things rarely come easily, just as good choices do not. Rarely is the right thing easy. If it were our society would be perfect. Hence our agency to choose the hard right choice or the often easy wrong choice is critical.
To ponder, pray, discuss and decide for ourselves creates a battle that only we must face. But the road to learning and introspection- that road is the greatest gift of the process. Only after the hard choice, the right choice, do we feel at peace with our decision. Then the blessings come whether we realize them or not.
Are you having a mid-life crisis that requires large choices to be made?!
ReplyDeleteI hope not, but if so, I hope it all works out for your benefit!
I can only say "Amen" to what you have written. It is all so true!
ReplyDeleteI am a HUGE advocate of choice, I have really come to see that every thing I do, feel, think, decide, have an opinion of, is all MY choice. Truly the best gift God gave us. But what's hard about choices is when you have to choose between two good things, that both feel right. That's when God says to me, "Tawna, I trust you. I have given you gifts, a strong mind and heart, for you to decide which is truly better for you at this time." Now that's the hard part of choosing..
