Take a chance on love

19 September 2012

Romans 8:28 We know that in everything God works for good with those who love him, who are called according to his purpose.

How do you know when the right thing to do is the right thing to do? When decisions are to be made we may have all the right information and the training to make decisions, yet we so often make them on past experience, even though the information may be different. This may result in repetitive experience rather than experience based on risk. The more we risk the more faith we need to have when making a decision. There comes a time in all our lives when we need to have and the ability to trust our decisions.

Even when we know it is the right thing to do, is it the right time and are we doing it the right way, and is this what God wants us to do, are all the thoughts that enters a persons mind when making a life changing decision. When our decision is love based, with others interest at heart, then surely we take a chance on love. Love in itself is a risky business, it is always putting others first, and this is sometimes hard to do. When we do things in love for love, it is usually the right thing to do.

Be encouraged today to decide to put love first.

David
