secret choices.
Jesus once said, “There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.” Matthew 10:26
we all have many, many moments daily when we must make choices. the majority of the choices we make are private – no one knows about them. they are “secret choices.” BUT the Lord knows. and these secret choices you make before the Lord always become public. you don’t think that they will ever, you don’t think that they do — but they do. what you choose in the private of your heart and mind translates into the way your walk with God is (your intimacy with Him)… and it translates in how you relate with others. did you make a choice that honors or dishonors God? are you making choices that choose Him first or yourself/your flesh? are you obeying Him or not? your secret choice will become public. and all the other choices you make after that – even if you think they are separate and distinct from all your previous choices, they are really not — they all build on top of each other… and determine your character for your entire life. secret choices ALWAYS become public!!
sow a thought over and over again, and you reap a choice/decision/act
sow a choice/decision/act over and over again, and you reap a habit.
sow a habit over and over again, and you reap a character.
sow a character over and over again, and you reap a destiny.
what kind of destiny are you moving towards?

Its interesting how you describe Sam using the word “man.” Usually people use the word “guy” or something. You seem to emphasize that word. Interesting.
yah… i think “man” is more romantic!
