God is no respecter of persons. We all have the same access to Him through the blood of Jesus. The same offer of intimacy and authority is given to every person. There are not favorites in the kingdom of God; there are not some are chosen others are not. God loves and chooses all of us, He has already made His choice.

People wonder why some people seem to walk in favor, while others don’t. Others notice certain benefits yielded to some and not to others and wonder why is that? The answer is not in whether or not God is for us or not, the answer lies in our choices. Not everyone chooses the same thing, that is why not everyone accesses the same things.

Our choices about who we spend time with, what we speak, how we treat people, how much we want or don’t want God, is all our choice. Some people forgive quickly, others hold grudges. Some people prioritize time with God, other people do not. Some people are generous on all occasions with all things, others withhold unduly. The choice is ours.

We are very powerful people, so powerful we get to choose what we do. However, we are also so powerful we are responsible for our choices. If we don’t have what someone else has, it is not because we are less loved or favored, it is because have made other choices than someone else. The best news is, if we want what someone else has, we can have it if we want to make the same choices they made.

Cain was jealous of Abel in Genesis 4, Saul was jealous of David in 1 Samuel 20, but both Cain and Saul could have made different choices and had the same favor Abel and David had. The hardest pill to swallow is the truth that our choices are our responsibility. No one chooses for us. No wonder Moses said in Deuteronomy 32 “Choose Life!” The best thing about choices is you can change what you are choosing. I did, years ago and now I am living really living.

It all began with a choice to love, to forgive, to be generous always and to invest in people. I chose to speak life, to find the gold, and to be generous on all occasions and that choice has changed my life. Choose wisely friends for our choices yield fruit we eat either sour fruit or fresh fruit. I have eaten both and I will never choose anything but life ever again for the fruit of the tree of life is so good, I have no appetite for the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil anymore. I am so grateful I could make a different choice and so can you.
