How do people make choices?
Based on desire.
Based on obligation.
Based on necessity.
Based on reputation.
Based on resignation.
At our core we are designed and required to make choices each and every day.
It is an inescapable part of our existence.
Even to not make a choice is by it’s nature a choice.
If this is a fundamental reality of our existence, we really ought to know why we do what we do.

How we think about, how we respond to, how we understand the Father brings us back to this core issue of why we do what we do.

it is our goal to live the way God designed us to live.

Within the
So, God the Father is the highest authority.
Plan and Purpose
There is nothing hidden from Him and all things are determined by His will.
He is intentional in all that he does and reveals himself through his works.
No one can stop him and no one can question him.
His way stands forever.
Empowerment
In love, he sent the Son to the world.
Why did he send the son?
God sent Jesus so we could have a chance to live the way we were designed to.
God the Father and My Choices
