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!
