Choices

I went to visit a new church tonight, well I have been there several times before and Mom works with the Preachers wife and we know him as well. I was kinda heavy hearted on my way this evening. I have been going to a church I really like with a good Pastor and good people in the church, however I have had alot of issues going on in my personal life and for that reason I thought it might be best if I find another church, I have yet to make up my mind on that one. I need to do more praying and seeking God's will first. No one in my church is ''chasing me'' out in anyway but because if choices others have made and I have made myself I feel it would be best.

There has been a chain of events going on that all revolve around telling the truth. Some people just find it so hard to tell the truth from the beginning. I think this is a problem man kind has had issues with forever, why they haven't figured it out is beyond me! Ya know its always easier to tell the truth and the hole truth from the beginning. Lie once and then you have to lie again to cove that up and so on and so on. Before you know it the lies are huge and you feel like you cant find a way out. So why not stop there and correct the things you have wronged? People do forgive you and you can move on from it. The bible teaches there is not 1 sin God will not fogive and if you ask for that forgiveness He will cast your sin as far as the east if from the west. But for some reason this person wont tell the truth no matter what they loose because of it which is the saddest thing I have ever heard. Your lies will build and build and then start to hurt other people. There is no such thing as a white lie or a little lie you see that is the biggest lie mankind has ever said. What you dont know won't you is another on of those. The truth always has a way of coming out NO MATTER WHAT the truth will be found!

Now because of these lies other family members have been hurt and it has caused a chain of events. People make choices they may be right and they may be wrong thats not for me to decide. Those choices may hurt another and then that person makes choices, more people get hurt that would have never been hurt if the lies were never told. To make matters worse some people know that lies have been told and then try to cover them up because they think that is the right thing to do to fix things. Now tell me how much sense does that make? If you know or even think someone told a lie no matter how big or small you should never try to cover their tracks, that in turn makes the situation worse. So now even more people are hurt and you dragged even more people into the mess which is wrong! Relationships between people have been hurt or broken because of lies and the choices people make because of the lies a person has told.

If you make a bad choice in life dont lie or run from it, tell the truth, admit you were wrong. It may be shamefull and you may think that it hurts you at the time but its never the wrong thing to do. For the stupid things we do it is always best to own up and face it head on. Apoligize ask for forgiveness and move on praying all way! Let God guild your path and walk hand in hand with Him and it will all work out in the end I promise you that!

The bible talks a great deal about lies, liers, and a lieing tongue. It teaches to never tell a lie because of the damage they do to others and the way it seperats us from God. God never turns away form us if fact He is calling us back, we seperate ourselves from God with sin. The best thing to do is ask for forgiveness and seek God's will. God will be there waiting with open arms no matter what! He calls us all home and wishes that none should perish but have all have everlasting life. Please next time you even think about telling the smallest lie remember all the people it could hurt there is more than just you. Remember that because of that lie others will make choices that may hurt even more peole. Pray and ask God what you should do, ask Him to guild your steps and help you make the right choices!
