There is something so extra special about Jesus. Even when He was living in flesh He didn’t sin. When He was tested so severely, He didn’t sin. When He was being crucified for each of our sins, He didn’t sin. Instead, He asked God to forgive us for they didn’t know what they were doing. Good grief, how could He be so faithfully committed? He chose.

As I was journaling about this earlier I was enlightened to a truth I hadn’t really thought much about. I’ve most often thought about the fact that we have choice to be connected to the wrongs/sins in our lives. We can choose to walk away from the temptations/flee, we can surrender them to Jesus, call someone and confess it, etc. Today my devotional message was that we can also choose to let God use our past torments for His Glory. We can choose to be a messenger of God by stepping into what He prompts us to do or we can do as I’ve so often done in my past, say that it’s just not me.

The truth is, it isn’t me. The other truth is that it is me if I am fully surrendered to God’s will doing what He prompts knowing it will be Him in me that completes this. Then, it is God working through me rather than me thinking I’m having to do this all on my own. All of this is another great use of “choice”. I don’t want to just choose to step away from sin, I also want to step into obedience to do all God wants of me.

Lets choose to be committed to all God asks. God is SO AMAZING!
