Choices

The choices in our lives seem to mock us.
They stare at us and remind us that we have yet to figure it out.
And as the world looks at us and asks us what it is we plan to do, we dig within ourselves to find something acceptable.
So that we can seem acceptable. To them. To us.
But instead of knowing who we are we feel more lost. More lost because now we have assumed an identity that was never ours and never something we wanted to be.
So we begin to walk. Each step more unsure than the last.
We cry out to God to help us. Hold us sure and hold us fast as we now try to live out who we are supposed to be.
Lord teach us to be, not identified by career, relationship, or finances, but rather by the King and how we are to further the kingdom.
The choices we must make are endless and can seem to overwhelm us, but the one in control is sovereign in all circumstances.
So let us take heart in knowing that so that His peace may reign in us rather than the unbearable weight we feel every day.
