MAKING DECISIONS

By this time in your life I am sure you have learned the importance of the decisions you will be making. All of us make rash decisions, often forgetting that the consequences will bounce right back at us. There is no way to get away from that so we need to be very careful in what we decide and how the results will affect us and our loved ones.
Wrong decisions can bring results that might last all our lives. I am number one at deciding something is right to do when actually it might be the last thing I should do. Age doesn't matter; we can decide the wrong thing at any time. All decisions, however, bring good or bad results. Everyone has had the moment of thinking, "Oh, if only I had not done that!" Hurts, but there is no way to avoid the pain we often bring on ourselves. As long as we are breathing we will be making mistakes.
The important thing is to recognise our mistakes, accept the results and go on from there. We can't stall and just stay at that point. Life is moving on and we have to do the same. Go on, face tomorrow's decisions and try to be more careful so that the results might be more pleasant and possibly bring gladness to our lives. We must learn to rely on God rather than ourselves. The greater our faith the less likely we are to do dumb things but we must accept the fact that we often bring these things on ourselves. God didn't and we can't blame others for our actions. Get up, dust yourself off and go on to the next event in your life. Remember that God loves us; His forgiveness is available and His mercy is great.
