This morning, as I read on My Utmost for His Highest, this term struck me: moral choices.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0The warfare is not against sin; we can never fight against sin\u2014 Jesus Christ conquered that in His redemption of us. The conflict is waged over turning our natural life into a spiritual life. This is never done easily, nor does God intend that it be so. It is accomplished only through a series of moral choices<\/strong>. God does not make us holy in the sense that He makes our character holy. He makes us holy in the sense that He has made us innocent before Him. And then we have to turn that innocence into holy character through the moral choices we make.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>I recalled our bedtime conversation last nite. We decided to drop the idea of opening a childcare centre, because it’s opposing our belief of children raised in home by parents. It’s sad to see and I believe all parents that send their children to childcare also feels the same. Little children themselves feel the same.<\/p>\n

Yesterday also, our group conversation, I remember friends that being honest in corrupted institution. How to do that? Why doing it? There’s no other answer, but the moral choices because the holiness of God.<\/p>\n

May the Lord help us, give us the strength to continue making the difficult moral choices, give us the wisdom to discern His way, and forgive us over our mistakes.<\/em><\/p>\n

I think when one day I look back and anybody ask,”How can you ever do it?” My answer would be,”I don’t know. It must be God’s grace.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
