CHOICE<\/p>\n

Every new day brings us a choice,
\nIt is God’s Will or just our own,
\nAnd the fruit of our short lives,
\nDepends on the seeds we have sown.<\/p>\n

If we sow in selfish pleasure,
\nIt will come to no good end,
\nBut if we serve the Lord Jesus,
\nOne day He’ll greet us as a friend.<\/p>\n

Thus we must each choose daily,
\nTo deny self and pick up our cross,
\nForsaking this life’s pleasures,
\nAnd letting Jesus be our Boss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
