It has been a while

It has been a while since I last posted on this blog.  Life has been busy. I have gotten married, bought a house, lost a brother and this past summer my mother-in-love.  Through it all God has been faithful.  I may not always be faithful to Him, but He is faithful to me.
Today I was reading in Ezekiel about how God does not like to see man die in their sin.  Yet, because He has given man a free will to choose Him or not to choose Him, there are times He has to watch a man die in his own sin.  I know it breaks His heart, because it breaks my heart when I see someone make a choice I know will not benefit them.  Why do we purposely choose to do things that hurt us? It is almost like we think that we are invincible.  We are not!
I want to choose Jesus above all else.  Do I do it all the time? No! Sometimes I let my flesh rule the day and in the end I am frustrated and unsatisfied.  Yet, when I choose Jesus, He fills me with His peace and His joy and I am satisfied.  When will I learn to choose him always? Not just when I feel like it, but ALWAYS!
Well, that is is for today.  I choose Jesus! Will you?
Blessings!
