Today I Choose Love..
No occasion justifies hatred; no injustice warrants bitterness.
Today I will love God and all that God lovesToday I Choose
Joy...
I will invite my God to be the God of circumstance. I will refuse
the temptations to be cynical... the tool of the lazy thinker. I
will refuse to see people as anything less than human beings,
created by God. I will refuse to see any problem as anything less
than an opportunity to see God at work in it.
Today I Choose Peace...
I will live the life of the forgiven... and I will keep on
forgiving, so that I may keep on living.
Today I Choose Patience...
I will overlook the inconveniences of the world... instead of
cursing the one who takes my place. I will invite that person to do
so. Instead of grumbling about the one who jumps in front of me. I
will step back and invite them to come ahead of me. Rather than
complain that the wait is too long, I will thank God for a few free
moments to pray. Instead of clenching my teeth at new assignments. I
will thank God that I am blessed with a job- and accept the changes
with courage and joy.
Today I Choose Kindness...
I will be kind to the poor, for many of them are alone. I will
be kind to the rich, for many of them are afraid. I will be kind,
for this is how God treats me.
Today I Choose Goodness...
I will go without a dollar before before I take one dishonestly.
I will be overlooked before I will dare to boast. I choose goodness
because bringing forth the goodness in me will manifest the
greatness in God
Today I Choose Faithfulness...
Today, I will keep my promises. My debtors will not have to
regret their trust. My associates will not have to question my word.
My spouse will not have to question my love. My children will never
have to fear that I will not come home.
Today I Choose Gentleness....
Realizing that nothing is won by force, I choose to be gentle.
If I raise my voice may it be only to praise. If I clench my fist,
may it be in prayer. If I make a demand, may it be only of myself.
Today I Choose Self-Control...
I recognize the fact that I am a spiritual being. After this
body is dead I know my spirit will soar. I refuse therefore to let
what will not rule the eternal. i choose self control. If I get
drunk it will only be with joy of the Lord. When I become
impassioned it will be only because of the depth of my faith. I will
be influenced only by the Spirit of God. I will be taught only by
the Word made flesh. I will be fed only by the grace of God. I will
be nourished only through the power of prayer, I choose
self-control-because self control on my part means that God is in
charge on his part.
Today! This day-and every day! I choose to live for God-to
live in Christ! I choose to let the Holy Spirit live in me! Today! I
Choose! |
