The Power of Deciding....

I've noticed something..... although at times when one may be unhappy, guilty, shameful, whatever the negative emotion that is being expressed.... One makes the choice to be that way.. it is up to the person to decide for them to be that way. The same applies for positive emotions. So it is up to us! We hold the power to decide. This is another great example of how we live in constant decision making. BUT sometimes in order to achieve that we must allow help to come in, yes one may decide not to be unhappy anymore. But what will be our source of everything that is opposite to negativity? Today in my devotional I was captured by this;

It's up to you.

"Behold I stand at the door, and knock: If any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come to him" Revelation 3:20 KJV A man named Holman Hunt depicted a painting of this verse, but he added one tiny detail that goes overlooked. The door was only to be opened by the inside.....

The Source? Jesus. Who not better than the man who is Love himself? who expressed himself, who defined himself, who IDENTIFIES himself as a God who loves? and what does love bring us? Happiness, the joy and satisfaction of knowing there is someone out there who thinks of us highly in their best interest, and will do anything for our own good no matter what the cost.
