Our families cannot choose Christ for us. Our friends cannot do it. God is a great God, but even God can't make the decision for us . . .we have to make our own choice.

God created us free to choose how we would live... but leaves us free to pursue our own ends with tragic, natural consequences.

Every man gotta right to decide his own destiny

You are always walking in the direction of either love or fear. Choose wisely.

Freedom of choice is more to be treasured than any possession earth can give.
