Decisions

Sometimes we are faced with a choice between doing a good thing and not doing a good thing. Sometimes we find this decision to be difficult because the reasons for not doing the good thing are a good. When you want to do the best sometimes you must abstain from a good thing and other times you must risk a good thing. We see darkly now- and often sin in ignorance. In a time to come, however, we will see plainly and certain decisions will become much easier. As life is not about ease, our current predicament should not be cause for dismay. I long to lean not on my own understanding...

Hmmm. When you say, "In a time to come" are you thinking of heaven? do you think we will have to make decisions to good there?

I think we will have plenty of decisions to make then- only they will not be clouded by the sin and agony of "this life."

I see. Have you ever read "Safely Home" by Randy Alcorn? Not the best writing, but a really beautiful picture of heaven! Thanks for the blog roll add.
