Timmy came to his Dad and requested sorrowfully for a new shoe. His friends have changed theirs, but they told him they made their choices and he insisted that he was going to make his own choice also. His Dad promised him one when he’s less busy. Thus, Timmy anticipated the promise was equally a consolation as he used to admire his friends’ shoes.
As Christmas drew nearer, his Dad called him, “tomorrow we’ll be going for a shopping and there you’ll pick the shoe of your choice”. With enthusiasm, he jumped up and raced out to notify his friends. Through out the night, he was lost in his thought about the shoe’s shops and various types of shoes. He was set in his dream to thrill his friends.
That morning, Timmy woke with bright excitement that electrified their house. His walking to and fro sent signals that sent his father into the bathroom. It was quite a wonderful morning because he was going to make the best of the best in his dream that he thought would thrill his friends. His Dad couldn’t finish breakfasts; Timmy’s haste drove him from the table.
His Dad branched to some shops to pick some few things that they might need for the Christmas. All these were less important in Timmy’s haste he said, “Daddy, lets go get my shoes” his father took him to the shoe plaza. There Timmy lost control, his Dad picked some shoes for his younger brothers but he insisted he’ll make his own choice. - A bright, red-laced shoe was his choice. That wasn’t his father’s choice, but he did paid for Timmy Choice and they headed for home!
People who sell fake items have ways of giving them some augmented colours and add-ons to make them look original! Timmy had been deceived as his friends and brothers pointed out some fakes attributes – “This will not last long” one commented. He was disappointed, but it was his choice
Truly not quite long, the lace of his shoe started loosening off as well as the colour bleaching; some of the add-ons were peeling off as well. His movement was now restricted, he couldn’t fit into his friends’ circle day’s out he complained at home but his father replied, “It is your choice”
Just like Timmy, we all have time to make a choice out of many promises of God. At such appointed time in an appointed place, there will be many things in such arena, all soliciting for your choice, but you have to make one. And some choices are made once in a lifetime. A repeat of them may be violation of rules of life, even if you are permitted one more time: the haste and folly that got you to make wrong choices in life will still cause you to repeat the same mistake, If you’d not dealt with it.
Fake things have ways of parading themselves to woo you into making them your choices. A lot of things are added to them, to augment them for acceptance! Things of lesser qualities need more painting to appear relevant and attractive to get attention in life. Things of lesser qualities have to make the loudest noise to assume a platform of recognition. Those who lack values tend to forcefully compel themselves a choice on people.
Watch out for fake! There are lots of fake items: employment, partners, gatherings, business and opportunities. If you are roped in you may blow off wonderful opportunities! In life “ there is a way that seems right to man, but its end is the way of death” Proverb. 16:25. The brightness of men’s faces does not speak Joy. The regrets which outlived choices of fake, substandard items and dangerous articles is quite grave that sometimes ranks like mourning a loved one. Such is the pain that we harvest from the wrong choices.
Like Timmy, who had the opportunity of allowing his experienced Dad make choice for him likewise we have God our father to make safer and better choices. If you neglect him, he will stay out of your choice, then it will be “it is your choice!” for any question and sorrow that there after occur Sincerely, beloved, you cannot cope with the choice he didn’t make for you. You cant!
He knows the value of every item in the market of life. He knows some can intelligently whip off your wonderful gifts, grace and glory. Some are specifically placed there to import sorrows, troubles and calamities, however there are wonderful items in life that God placed there For what they are and how they look only God can read their trade mark well-the original brands of His blessing
As Timmy was not able to fulfill all his dreams likewise your choices without the assistance of God may accommodate limitation and frustration - watch out for fake items, watch out for fake in this only one life that you have, You cannot cope with wrong choices, you cannot! You need God’s for the better and best! You will always need Him, but if he’s not in there, you may be doom. Make him your choice, then all your choices are sure of safety! You can’t cope without him!
