It Takes Two

Every man, in his walk through life, must make choices. Life is full of choices. And life can be our greatest teacher. It’s those choices that are inevitably molded by our morals, our values and mostly our experiences. The challenge to the choices we make is that we cannot see the end (result) at the beginning (action). However, wisdom will allow us to stop and think about our choices – what we say or what we do – and ponder the outcomes before we choose. 


Confucius said “By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.” Although our experiences may be difficult and the scars may be deep, we have hope. And our hope comes from God.  Nehemiah 9:17 states “…But you are a forgiving God, gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love.” Take your sins, your struggles, your fears and desperation and give them over the all-loving God of hope!
