A lot of us live our lives with our eyes on a prize, a bigger picture and with a purpose but we fail to realise that it's the little things that matter most.
God gave us humans the gift of freewill, to choose between good and evil, to have the ability to steer our lives and choose what direction or path they take.

The choices we make everyday do not just determine how our day works out, they determine how our entire lives turnout. God has shown to us good and bad, poverty and riches and even the most important- heaven and hell. He did not withold this gift from anyone, anywhere in the world but he made it possible that we ultimately define where we end up.
(NIV)Galatians 6 vs 7-8 tells us this :
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
The truth is we can choose to study the word of God more or remain lazy, we can choose to love one another like Jesus Christ loved us or we can live in war, We can choose to be faithful, loyal and honest to those we owe them to or we can be architects of betrayals and broken relationships. It's all a matter of choice . One thing that is certain from all of this is that any choice made has consequences, you reap what you sow. If you sow love and honesty, God will see to it that you reap same eventually.
I know in our world today it almost feels like there is no motivation to do good anymore. But the bible foresaw all these things and admonishes us to be brave and steadfast to that which we believe. It is not enough to say to someone that you love them when you do not show them that love.
We should never forget that the value attached to anything in our lives is the value we ourselves attach to that thing. This simply means we are the architects of our very own lives.
A lot of people in the world today complain about the circumstances with which they were brought into this world, but I feel it's up to each and every one of us to determine how our lives turn out.
We all have choices to make. Choose wisely!!!
The team at COMMUNITY NEWS agree thejotographer - you have to take what you've got and you have to make the most of it, applying wisdom to your decision making process - always! And the Holy Bible is a terrific guide in this decision making process.

Every decision we make today will ultimately affect how our lives turn out.
The Little Things Matter.
In life there are always choices, good or bad, heaven or hell,life or death, may we be wise enough to choose right!!
The decisions we make in life are very important cos they set us on a path through which we follow!
The decisions we make are building blocks which will determine the final design.
Right decisions will birth a beautiful design, wrong decisons a poor design.
I agree with you Joto, we all need to give values to ourselves. Making the right decisions in life may look taunting, but with determination and prayer to God we will be able. A very smooth one from you.
Thanks @jaff8 , making the right decision is only possible by the help of God
Our first parents were the first to abuse this gift of free will, bringing us into imperfection. Luckily for us, God has given us the Bible to help guard us in every step we take. Even though we are imperfect, we should not allow improper desire let us abuse this gift of free will. Look to God's word the Bible. Surely, he'll make our path straight. Once again, thanks for sharing this thought provoking post.
I am glad you were touched by this. We should hold fast to the bible as our guide to lead us in all our endeavors
God has the power to choose a path for a man but did decided to give man free choice. This makes Him unique
Exactly. We should use this gift wisely
Every decisions we make today, determine our tomorrow
