To Much Work or Is It?

My second thought for the day is more about our actions. We are given choices in life and those choices are to help us along the path which we have chosen to be on. However we can chose to make the choice that will make it easier or harder for us, but that is ultimately our choice, it isn't someone else's choice or someone else's problem or fault if we chose not to make the choice at all. It is our choice to choose. That is the issue today, there are people that want to blame others for the choices that they will not make, they want to blame others for the choice they have made, instead of realizing that the choices they made are their own decisions, based on their own brains. We all have a brain and we all know the difference we can make based on our past, present and what we define as our future, we can make valuable choices, we don't have to look to others to decide what is the right choice by others actions, we can choose it based on what is right for us. Because what is right for me, may not be right for someone else. Remember that, when I share what I am about to share.

I find it very hard when people are given a choice to make, this choice is either they can get better by doing a certain thing. For example, I have joint issues, I can solve the joint issues, by taking a herbal supplement daily, the choice I have is I can take the supplement daily and feel the difference or not take it. That is my choice, but that sad point is, when someone says it is too much work taking the supplement, so they choose to stay in pain, because they think that taking the thing that can help them feel better is too much work. It takes me approximately 1 minute to take the supplement, how is that too much work? Same with other things. 

If that is too much work, how is their spiritual walk, we have to wonder if taking a herbal supplement to help them feel better is too much work. How about walking closer to God, will that be to much work too? Generally how we approach our daily lives, is how we are going to approach our spiritual lives as well. Same with our relationships, if you have ever seen a marriage that is falling apart, look at there relationship with God, how is it going? Because generally when the marriage relationship is broken and they are not willing to work on it, the same holds true in their relationship with God.

I find it amazing how the simple facts of life are forgotten, how the simple things, like our own choices are forgotten, because we are caught up in the world of life. We forget that our choices are having a lasting impact on those around us. Just think, how you treat those around you, who is watching? Those are being directly influenced by your choices, by how you talk, what you do, how you react. Now think about your relationships, how are they? Are they drawing you closer to God or is it the very thing that is driving you from God? These are hard questions, but if you are not willing to take the look at yourself in the mirror, you aren't willing to take the thing that will fix the very problem. You too wills say it is too much work. 

Nothing is too much work. Have faith of a mustard seed, God said it, I believe it, do you?
