At our ‘Little Big Church’ service tonight, Garry looked at the subject of choices. Sometimes, a choice has a right or wrong answer: the children were asked to decide which was the heaviest book…
… or the longest piece of string…
With other choices, however, there is not a right or wrong answer; the choice will be based on a personal preference, which will vary from person to person (what your favourite colour is, for example, or whether you prefer white, milk or dark chocolate…)
The most important choice we can ever make is the choice to receive God’s love. God’s love for us is ‘better than any chocolate/ better than any cake/ better than any ice cream – even with a flake!’ (as Garry’s new song puts it.) He gives us free will and does not force us to love Him, but there is nothing better than choosing to accept God’s love and follow Him.
