To choose life is to love the Lord your God, obey Him and stay close to Him. - Deuteronomy 30:20
He placed one scoop of clay upon another until a form lay lifeless on the ground...All were silent as the Creator reached in Himself and removed something yet unseen. It's called choice. The seed of choice.
Within the man, God had placed a divine seed. A seed of His self. The God of might had created earth's mightiest. The Creator had created, not a creature, but another creator. And the One who had chosen to love had created one who could love in return.
This is a beautiful picture painted by Max Lucado of how we as human beings are created for a purpose greater than ourselves. By Someone greater than ourselves. And in so doing - we are spitting images of our Creator. We have brains and we have brawn. We also have a choice. To live our life as if it were one big blessing - in daily gratitude and returning love to the One who loved perfectly. It's called Choice. Love is a choice.
