Choice

Now choice was given to all humanity Our choices can bind or set us free. Your choice may be different than mine But, that is what choice is by design The choices we make have cause and effect And a choice is made even through neglect Our lives are altered by each choice Choice can silence or give us voice. Albeit it purports to give us options Yet we are not free of its obligations. We learn to choose right from wrong Choice can weaken or make us strong Some choose life, others to die Some choose to laugh, others to cry Some choose heaven, others choose hell But it is eternal at the toll of the bell Denying God is a choice for perdition A choice you make by your own volition. Some choices are made with deliberation Others are made with no contemplation. Some choices earn us praise and respect While others demand we stand erect Some see choice only for political debate Killing our own, they try to adjudicate. Some choices lead to yet one more So be careful when you open that door! When confronted with choice you need to see There are consequences and personal responsibility Jesus alone made choices with impeccability So seek counsel for choices of great immensity We make choices all through the day Some of us even choose to pray! Endowed with choice, ‘tis our God given right We choose darkness or we can choose light. Even Jesus made a choice back in Gethsemane Our salvation was bought by His agony Choice is more than a word we use each day It is an action with consequences to pay. I tell you the truth, I hope you can see Choice is a word of personal responsibility! You made a choice to read this verse I hope it made you think and not to curse! By: Ex-Rea © 10/19/07
