The Choice is Ours

Today's post will finish up the quote we started last Sunday from Max Lucado's book, When God Whispers Your Name.

The point Max Lucado makes in this chapter of the book is that the choice is ours. We choose how we want to live our life. We choose what kind of a day we will have. Here's what Max has to say on the subject...

"It's quiet. It's early. My coffee is hot. The sky is still black. The world is still asleep. The day is coming.

I choose goodness...

I will go without a dollar before I take a dishonest one. I will be overlooked before I will boast. I will confess before I will accuse. I choose goodness.

I choose faithfulness...

Today I will keep my promises. My debtors will not regret their trust. My associates will not question my word. My wife will not question my love. And my children will never fear that their father will not come home.

I choose gentleness...

Nothing is won by force. I choose to be gentle. If I raise my voice may it be only in praise. If I clench my fist, may it be only in prayer. If I make a demand, may it be only of myself.

I choose self-control...

I am a spiritual being. After this body is dead, my spirit will soar. I refuse to let what will rot, rule the eternal. I choose self-control. I will be drunk only by joy. I will be impassioned only by my faith. I will be influenced only by God. I will be taught only by Christ. I choose self-control.

Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. To these I commit my day. If I succeed, I will give thanks. If I fail, I will seek his grace. And then, when this day is done, I will place my head on my pillow and rest.

Happy Father's Day

Daddy...Dad...Papa...Father...beautiful names that mean different things to different men. It's still a blessing and I still get a special feeling when my two daughters call me Daddy or Dad. I am honored to be their father. I am proud to be their father.



And now, with fabulous grandkids, a new moniker brings a smile to my face...Papa.

If we consider it a blessing to hear our kids call our name, think of what an honor it is to have our Heavenly Father call our name. Wow! Talk about a humbling thought. The creator of heaven and earth knows your name.

In his book, And the Angels Were Silent, Max Lucado shares how God is waiting for all His sons and daughters to come home.

"God calls your name...He's waiting for you. God is standing on the porch of heaven, expectantly hoping, searching the horizon for a glimpse of his child. You're the one God is seeking.

God is the waiting Father, the caring Shepherd in search of his lamb. His legs are scratched, His feet are sore, and His eyes are burning. He scales the cliffs and traverses the fields. He explores the caves. He cups his hands to his mouth and calls into the canyon.

And the name he calls is yours...

The message is simple: God gave up his Son in order to rescue all his sons and daughters. To bring his children home. He's listening for your answer."
