Throughout
life, decisions are made based on freedom of choice. Yet some choices derive
from our being forced or coerced into a decision because another person's
course of action demands a response. For example, you may have been coerced
into getting a divorce because your spouse sought to terminate the marriage.
Making choices resulting in positive
change seems impossible when we are coerced by negative circumstances. Intensive
self-examination that leads to self-blame may produce questions like "What
did I do wrong?" or "Where did I fail?" In times like these we also
may question God's love and care for us, but what other choices are available?
You
can seek help for understanding your participation in creating conflict. You
can choose to grow and mature during this time of turmoil. You can seek insight
and guidance from the Lord Jesus Christ. Psalm 27 declares, "The Lord is
my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my
life, of whom shall I be afraid?" Chose to apply these words to your life
today.
