It is difficult to even remember you have a choice when you are pinned to the ground and the inevitable, unavoidable and inescapable is in your face like a 400lb., full grown, male lion! In a true safari record, a hunter shot a lion, but it kept coming and hit the man with a full-body-force lunge that slammed the man on his back and flung his rifle into the tall grass! Nailed to the ground, the hunter was about to be eaten. It was inevitable, unavoidable and inescapable, but the man CHOSE LIFE. He stuck his hand in that monster’s gaping mouth and grabbed its tongue, twisted it and shoved it back into the lion’s throat. The desperate grip kept the tongue at such an angle that the lion couldn’t even shut his jaw. That hunter lay there, determined to follow through on his choice while the hot breath of his enemy filled his nostrils and thick saliva slimed down his arm and every bone in the man’s body vibrated under the growl of the glaring beast. The man continued the choke-hold for forty-five minutes while his guide ran for the jeep and returned to run over the lion and kill it! Choose Life, even in the face of the inevitable, unavoidable and inescapable.

Since choice can be an automatic reflex, we must train ourselves to CHOOSE LIFE. Of course, re-training ourselves is not a stroll in the park. Re-training is never easy because we can’t take down-time to work on it. Re-training happens during real-life problems that just can’t be scheduled. They never come at a good time. Hell’s attacks are never fair. It is very difficult to contradict your emotions, especially when you’ve cried enough to salt a creek and used enough Kleenex to rub your nose right off your face. How do you choose life when you are dealing with relationship issues with someone who won’t even try? How do you choose life when you’re weary because you’ve already made that choice for months, for years, yet you are still smothering in changelessness? It’s difficult to choose life, again and again, when you’re still in the grip of pain and it’s taunting you daily. But in spite of difficulty we must CHOOSE LIFE in order to bring CHANGE in our lifetime.

Forgiveness untethers us so our lives
do not revolve around our conflicts. (Kathy)
