Praise The Lord.....
Prayerfull Greetings From H'bad....
Pls do read this Message .....
M Y C H O I C E
It's quiet. It's early.
The sky is still black.
The world is still
asleep.
The day is coming. In a few moments, the day will
arrive. It will roar
down the track with the rising of the sun. The
stillness of the dawn
will be exchanged for the noise of the day. The calm
of solitude will
be
replaced by the pounding pace of the human race. The
refuge of the
early
morning will be invaded by decisions to be made and
deadlines to be
met.
For the next twelve hours I will be exposed to the
day's demands.
It is now that I must make a choice. Because of
Calvary, I'm free to
choose. And so I choose.
I choose Love....
No occasion justifies hatred; no injustice warrants
bitterness. I
choose love. Today I will love God and what God loves.
I choose Joy....
I will invite my God to be the God of circumstance. I
will refuse the
temptation 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.
I choose Peace....
I will live forgiven. I will forgive so that I may
live.
I choose Patience....
I will overlook the inconveniences of the world.
Instead of cursing
the
one who takes my place, I'll invite Him to do so.
Rather than complain
that the wait is too long, I will thank God for a
moment to pray.
Instead of clenching my fist at new assignments, I
will face them with
joy and courage.
I choose Kindness....
I will be kind to the poor, for they are alone. Kind
to the rich, for
they are afraid. And kind to the unkind, for such is
how God treated
me.
I choose Goodness....
I will go without before I take dishonest gain. 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 only be in praise. If I clench my fist, may it
be only in
prayer. If I make a demand, may it only be 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,
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 the day is done, I will place my head
on my pillow and
be
able to rest.
With Prayers,
Sanath Henry
JY Hyderabad.
