I Look Around Me

When I look around me, I see a lot of things. But mostly I've begun to see that everyone is different, no matter how hard we try, no matter what we do, we will never, two of us, be the same. We are all given, first, the gift of Eternal life with God if WE so choose, and second, the gift of the part where WE CHOOSE. We make decisions everyday. Whether to make our bed, what to wear, what to eat, what to say, who to say it to. So many decisions that we make, but how many are the right one. I've begun to ask myself that. Why is it that I can look at others and say "You made the wrong choice." when I couldn't even tell you if I knew if half of the decisions I've made have been good or bad, and the other half I know must have been bad. I could play it off, say it's my nature, but what would that get me? Still not the knowledge to make the right decision later. So maybe I should stop looking around me, and look to God. He can show me what wrong decisions I've made, and how to not make them again. It could be the smallest "wrong decision" the equivalent of a SMALL white lie, but it's still wrong. It says in  Revelations 21:8 that "ALL liars" will have their share of Hell Fire. So maybe that wrong decision was a lie, do I then not deserve Hell Fire, right beside the "Cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral,  sorcerers, and idolators."? 
So. 3) Look for the wrong decisions on MY part. 

"...That you love one another." John 15:17
 Let's love one another, wrong decisions and all.
