IN CHOOSING

In choosing joy…we have chosen the way we intend to proceed.
In choosing love…we have chosen the way we intend to live.
In choosing faith…we have chosen the way to intend to see things.
In choosing truth… we have chosen the way we intend our reality.
In choosing light…we have chosen the way we intend to defeat darkness.
In choosing hope… we have chosen the way we intend to think.
In choosing kindness… we have chosen the way we intend to respond.
In choosing goodness… we have chosen the way we intend to defeat evil.
In choosing peace…we have chosen the way we intend to fight.
In choosing patience… we have chosen the way we intend to wait.
In choosing silence… we have chosen the way we intend to know our self.
In choosing solitude… we have chosen the way we intend to receive.
In choosing meditation… we have chosen the way we intend to know the Father.
In choosing prayer… we have chosen the way we intend to listen.
In choosing giving… we have chosen the way we intend to surrender.

(Poems 2022 Ben Fike)

“The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure that a man discovered hidden in a field. In his excitement, he hid it again and sold everything he owned to get enough money to buy the field.”
“Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant on the lookout for choice pearls. When he discovered a pearl of great value, he sold everything he owned and bought it!” Jesus
