I Have A Choice To Make….

The truth is, we all have a choice!
Now I know we cannot always choose our circumstances, but friends we always have a choice of how we handle them!

This last couple of weeks have been the toughest I have been through in a while. I know there are always ups and downs in life, but these last 2 weeks have hit me hard. There has been so much heartache that some days I have felt like I was drowning in my own tears! I felt like I wanted to run away, hide in a cave and never surface to face reality again.

I cannot go into the details as it is not my story to tell, but what I can tell you is that it has been tough!

I was reading the Book of Judges this morning and reading in Chapter 2 how a whole generation of Israelites did not know the Lord or what He had done for Israel. A whole generation! That is a lot of people. And the reason they did not know, is that no one told them!

No one told them of the miracles God performed.
No one told them how God had rescued them.
No one told them of the plan God had for them.
No one told them.

I have been pondering the events of the last 2 weeks, I don’t want to look back on this season, and for people to say they did not see God because I did not tell them!

I did not tell them of the miracles God performed.
I did not tell them how God rescued us.
I did not tell them that God has a plan in all of this.
I did not tell them.

And so this week I am choosing to tell you! As the tears flow and my heart heals I choose to tell you.

I choose to tell you of the miracles God has performed.
I choose to tell you how God has rescued us.
I choose to tell you that God has a plan.
I choose to tell you.

If we don’t talk about hard things and if we don’t acknowledge God in it all, how will people know!
How will people know how awesome our God is if we don’t tell them?

And so just in case, you have forgotten or no one has ever told you……God is good! All the time! He is a God of miracles and a God of abundance. He is a God who saves and a God who heals and redeems. He is a God who will restore what the enemy has tried to take and He is a God of unconditional love.

Sure I could have made this blog all about me and how hard things have been, but how does that give glory to God in the slightest?
In a couple of months, the pain and hurt will be forgotten but the goodness of God will carry on, and I certainly don’t want to be like the Israelites and not tell people of God and all He has done!

So stay tuned over the next little while as I share the absolute goodness of God…..
