Have you made decisions about what to do or what not to do based on how you feel? Ever made plans to attend a meeting or a class and then decided you were just too tired, overwhelmed or overworked and just don’t feel like it anymore?

When we make decisions out of how we feel instead of keeping our commitments, we have broken agreements with ourselves or others. Our word becomes powerless. We become ineffective. Our feelings change moment to moment. They are fleeting. Our word is what counts.

We make many choices throughout the day. Our choice becomes our commitment and becomes our word. When we make choices and stand on our word, the Universe rushes forward to help make our word a reality.

I choose Love. I choose Peace. I choose Joy.
What do you choose?

There is often confusion about what is God’s will for us. I have often heard people say that it is God’s Will for us to suffer. That understanding often comes from the Old Testament where God appeared to be angry, vengeful and mean.

The New Testament shows us God that is loving, generous and gracious. When we listen to our intuition, we are guided to a place of good. When we listen to our fears, we usually spiral into a place of limitation, lack and separation.

God gave us free will. We have the ability to think and choose for ourselves. We have the ability to be free.
