Be willing to stand with God and be ready when the world judges you because of that choice. It’s better than to stand with the world for God to judge you!
What matters isn't what you are, it's who you are, right now, in this moment. What matters are the choices we make. That's what defines us. Nothing else.
Our lives are made up of choices. Big ones, small ones, strung together by the thin air of good intentions; a line of dominoes, ready to fall.
Adversity or time of trouble is an opportunity to either fall or stand, fail or pass, faint or be strong. The choice is yours.
Your future depends of the choices you make today. The future for this reason can be predicted by your day to day living.
Choices will continually be necessary and -- let us not forget -- possible. Obedience to God is always possible. It is a deadly error to fall into the notion that when feelings are extremely strong we can do nothing but act on them.
She made a choice that day never to disregard the fact that people need to do things sometimes that others may not understand—and that did not give her reason to judge them
It is easy, out of laziness, out of weakness, to throw oneself into the lap of deity, saying, 'I couldn't help it; the way was set.' But think of the glory of the choice!
After all is said and done, you are free to choose but you are not free from the consequence of your choice.

Neil said to me once that in times of desperation, you have to force yourself to make a decision. It's your choice, he said. Us or them. So choose.
Well, she was talking to me. That's enough to make anyone lose their temper. And I accused her of sleeping with my dad because he was the soundest evolutionary choice.
You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world...but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices.
Our spiritual character is formed as much by what we endure and what is taken from us as it is by our achievements and our conscious choices.
Although the Bible is a living book, it will not jump into your palms pleading, "Read me please". You've to make a choice to do so!
Your success lies behind your choices... To get there, you must choose it and drive your dreams in that chosen direction!
Commit to being happy and make the choices that will support your commitment.
Your destiny grows clearer, Jason Grace. When the choice comes again- storm or fire- remember me. And do not despair.
Where were we? I've forgotten. He was deciding whether to cut her throat or love her forever. Right. Yes. The usual choices.
But it was not real freedom, he realised. It was the freedom that comes from lack of choice and moreover, was the kind that only came with decisions delayed. It was a freedom of inaction.
