No Excuses

Hi all,

I have been gone for too long and I know it. I can make excuses for myself, but trust me, such won't be valid. Why? It's because we always have alternatives to choose from. I could have, amidst all those things I can give as excuses for keeping me from writing, chosen to create time to write. I could have denied myself of some other things or could have simply just placed writing above some other thing(s).

There is one thing that God has blessed human beings with; it’s our ability to choose. God, through His word, tells us the good and the bad, the right and the wrong and He makes us know the consequences of our actions but He still leaves us to choose what to do. He says He “stands at the door and knocks”, meaning He won’t come in unless you choose to open the door.

There is always another way, at times a better one, to do things. It’s usually a case of our mindset; we see what we want to see. It’s like the analogy of the half–filled cup and half-empty cup.

Now, don't be quick to argue. Just think of any possible scenario and look hard enough and you'll find you do have a choice. That's the reality, the sad thing is just that we don't look hard enough or are too lazy to put our thoughts to productive use.

So, why didn’t I make out time to write? I plead guilty as charged! I am back to inspire and bless you with my posts. Thanks for taking time to read this piece and others.

Cheers!
