Choosing God Today

We may call ourselves Christians but do we really know what it means to be a disciple of Christ?


Joshua 24:15

We must constantly ask ourselves whether we want to follow God. We may say we are Christians but do we know what we are deciding by saying this? We are choosing love over everything else. Life instead of death.

Do we know what parts of our lives lead to death? Times when we are self-centered or show a lack of love for our neighbors. When we do so we are walking away from God.

If we constantly ignore God’s call to holiness then we need to be clear in what we are choosing. We can’t say we are people of God if we aren’t walking God’s path.

Let us take a moment today to reflect on whether we are willing to love God with all our hearts and minds. Whether we choose to show the same love to others. Let us commit ourselves to dedicate our lives to do God’s will.
