\"\"<\/p>\n

I am who I am because I chose<\/strong> to be who I am<\/p>\n

I am a Christian.<\/p>\n

I have Christian values and Christian standards,<\/p>\n

I uphold them not because I’m forced to, compelled to , or demanded to.<\/p>\n

But because… I choose to<\/strong><\/p>\n

I choose<\/strong> Love, Joy, Kindness, Goodness, Peace…<\/p>\n

I choose<\/strong> Purity and Holiness<\/p>\n

I choose<\/strong> to have faith in Jesus Christ and be faithful to him<\/p>\n

I choose<\/strong> to beat my body and bring it to submission to him<\/p>\n

I choose<\/strong> His way, His truth and His life;<\/p>\n

Not the way of the world, not “the truth” of the world, not “the life” of the world<\/p>\n

This is who I am, who I want to be, who I’m always going to be…<\/p>\n

Because, I choose to.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Choosing Jesus Christ is the best decision anyone could ever make for their lives. But this has to be a personal choice – born out of love for Him. It shouldn’t be a burden, a means to an end, or something done to please someone. It’s a daily decision to love somebody who loved you first, who loved you to death and who still loves you.<\/p>\n

Christianity is not a religious activity, it’s not a title, it is a relationship – A love relationship. The deepest and purest kind of love that man could ever receive.<\/p>\n

So did you make that decision yet? Did you choose to fall in love with Jesus and commit your heart and soul to Him? Did you start a relationship with Him yet?<\/p>\n

If you didn’t, you’re missing out! It’s time to think about making that choice.<\/p>\n
