As an act of my will,
I choose You.
If I lose my home,
I choose You.
If I never have the “ideal” marriage,
I choose You.
Should my friends go away,
I choose You.
If those I admire think I’m living life wrong;
in the middle of misunderstandings;
when I’m accused of being “holier than thou”;
if family members think I’m weird or crazy;
when I’m accused of not believing the right way;
if my business fails;
if my business succeeds;
when I don’t see expected answers to prayers;
if I’m never accepted into the circles I admire;
when it’s uncomfortable or unpopular;
when I sit at the table alone;
if my words remain unread…
I choose You, again.
