You are the sum of your choices. Who you are now are the results of the choices you have made in the past. We have many people in this world going around blaming everyone and everything for the situations they find themselves in currently. These people are afraid of being accountable. The truth is no one is responsible for your life, you alone are responsible and you alone will be held accountable. But you say Ric, that's not true, my parents did this and that and those things make me who I am now. False, while parents do have great influence on their children, your parents are not responsible for your choices and for who you have become.
Are your parents responsible for who you are today 🤔? No.While your parents influenced you greatly, they are not responsible for who you are today. Look at the life of your parents and ask yourself is my life the same ? The truth is you choose which part of your parents' teaching you wanted to follow and which part you wanted to reject. You are not like your parents because you made choices that were different from your parents. You can't blame your parents for who you are today. They influenced you, play a part in your development but you alone are responsible for where you are today.
In prisons you will find many people in there blaming others for being incarcerated. But its a lie. No one can force you to commit crimes, they can influence you but the choice is yours. Someone can offer you money to kill someone but the choice is yours. Someone can sweet talk you into committing fraud, but the choice is yours. A gang can intimidate you into joining them, but the choice is yours. No one can make you do anything that you don't want to do.
You made the choices that resulted in who you are today. You are the sum of your choices for good or evil.
God has giving us two choices in life, good or evil. Everyday we wake up we are making choices for good or evil. Good choices today will lead to good results tomorrow, evil choices today will lead to evil results tomorrow. You reap what you sow. You are responsible for your present situation and your future state. The Devil is not to be blame for the decision you have made. The idea of the Devil made me do it will not stand in the judgment of God. Adam and Eve tried it and it did not work because each person is a moral agent, solely responsible for the choices we make
So friends, if you want a better tomorrow, start making good choices today. If you want eternal life with Jesus, start making good choices today. By praying today, it will be easier to pray tomorrow, by seeking the Lord Jesus today, you will draw closer to Him tomorrow. By working with Christ today, you will be a better worker tomorrow. By being kind today you will get a kinder person tomorrow. By doing what is right in the eyes of the Lord today, you will be stronger to do right tomorrow. You are the sum of your choices. Choose the good, hate the evil.
Do what's right and you will have life forever more
Galatians 6:7
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
