The Gift of Choice

 

As I awake to each new day, rain, snow, or sun, it is my choice to release my light within.
As my light shines so does the Light of God and these lights meet and strength is gained for me to be stronger and brighter than I could ever hope to be.
For God wishes to answer every choice we make and judges not, it good or bad.
For His wish is happiness for every choice made and we choose how to act.
So if our choice is to hide our light because our day looks bleak, there is no light to find God's light and our strength will wither from within.
This path of life is a shared event through Jesus and the Holy Spirit and successful only if we choose to shine.
It is our choice and God awaits.
Which effort do you make?
May you choose to walk with Grace and Ease and God's Light to fill your soul.
For the Light of Love you radiate will always return to you.skye2008 
Merry Christmas

    a thought of meditation

    in life's decision making. Recognize the inner light, in the bible it is sometimes referred to as 'Shekinah' the light of God. In reference to the inner temple, we must as the high priest of God keep it ever lit.

    This was definitely food for thought. You're right, it's up to the individual to choose to be happy, not happiness to choose the individual.
    Thank you for sharing your beautiful thoughts.

    Yes, it is our choice to walk with the light or away from it!

    To nurture that Divine Light that is within each and every one of us; or to let it be dampened by the daily challenges and discouragements that we face. It is our choice every day, whether to rise and greet the day with hope or to allow despair to overtake us. It is our choice; sometimes a harder one than other - but always our choice. May the Divine always light our way. Thank you Skye. Your write is beautiful and inspiring. God bless and Season's Greetings! karen

    Thank you for your entry into the contest. I didn't quite see how it was related directly to my competition about hope, but I thought that it was well written and based beautifully on the quotation that you indicated in your notes.

    Good luck in the contest

    not sure how it relates to the contest, but this was an enjoyable read. well-written, and you have beautiful word usage. I liked the way you ended the poem with a question--it was a very effective ending. Well penned, and thanks for your entry...

    Thank you for your entry

    A good example and nice use of the quote for inspiration. My two concerns though, the font is very small and hard to read and you might consider making the lines shorter.

    God Bless

    I love your wording and the deep message you state. It is our choice, and as humans unfortunately, we don't always make the right choices.
    thank you for the lovely entry
    best wishes
