Choose Well!

God's Word always says it best...

Don't become partners with those who reject God. How can you make a partnership out of right and wrong? That's not partnership; that's war. Is light best friends with dark? Does Christ go strolling with the Devil? Do trust and mistrust hold hands? Who would think of setting up pagan idols in God's holy Temple? But that is exactly what we are, each of us a temple in whom God lives. God himself put it this way: 


  "I'll live in them, move into them;
   I'll be their God 

       and they'll be my people.
   So leave the corruption 

       and compromise;
   leave it for good," says God.
  "Don't link up with those 

      who will pollute you.
   I want you all for myself.
        I'll be a Father to you;
   you'll be sons and daughters 

       to me."
   The Word of the Master, God. 

 (2 Corinthians 6:14-18)


One day, hopefully not in the very near future (ha!), our children will decide to marry.  I'm praying that God leads them to just the perfect spouse.  Not only will that special person come into their lives, but they will need to be chosen.  Oh how I want our kids to choose well!

Make the best decision, babies!  Follow Christ and His plan for your lives.  Choose well!


Lord, be near Alyssa and Kyle as they begin the search for someone significant in their lives.  I pray that you make them really aware of your hopes and desires, and even expectations, for their future.  May your Holy Spirit nudge their hearts when they are tempted to become partners with someone who rejects you,  They are the temple where you live, and you are their God, and anyone who does not believe in you is a compromise and their relationship with you will suffer.  Make Alyssa and Kyle wise and sensitive to your plan, dear Jesus, and may they please you with every road they go down in the future.  Bring someone into their lives that will always draw them nearer to you, and help build their home and family on the one true foundation: You!
