Prodigal:  I love your smile Brady!

Me:  Me too!

Prodigal:  His smile is wider than the rind of a blue-ribbon watermelon.

Me:  I agree

This is from the book Bold Love by Dr. Dan B. Allender & Dr. Tremper Longman III

Some of us approach life with overt commitment to avoid choice (passivity) or perfect choice (perfectionism) so that the consequences of choice will not fall on our shoulders.  Others make irresponsible choices (impulsion) or delay them (procrastination) so that excuses can be readily offered.  Some make aggressive choices (intimidation) to keep others from being able to exert their freedom to choose.  All of these approaches hate the burden of choice and attempt to side step the responsiblity to deal with the consequences of choice.

Lord we think some times we don’t have to make the choice.  The Lord keeps calling.  He wants us to make the right choice with His wisdom.  We do not have to fear in that choice and we do not have to worry.  The Lord has been watching it all.  He has loved you through it all.  Now step toward the choice and watch the Lord work.

And God called the firmament Heaven.  And the evening and the morning were the second day.

Genesis 1:8
