The Choice is Yours

A Poem by Kirsten Telan

The most grateful people I’ve ever known, are the ones that have suffered silently and all alone.

We don’t have to like our circumstances so we choose to look for the unexpected gifts we don’t want to lose.

The hardest times bring the most profound growth, so we must learn to get out of our own head and take this oath.

When we walk through fire, fear, or confusion we have a choice, we can fall apart or be grateful and rejoice.

The mind is an intricate thing that can twist, trap, and attack our thoughts, if left unprotected it can feed you lies, so wake up because the enemy is in the darkness and doesn’t want to be realized.

When we change our perspective and point of view you will find, you’re not a victim of your own mind.

The enemy is always making us question our “what if’s” but to find freedom we can answer “Because God” and just like that we have escaped the riff.

The only thing that is tried and true and left to do, is spend a little quiet time each day with a God that adores and forgives you.

Our mind doesn’t have to be out of sorts and full of strife, remember we have a choice everyday on how we want to live our best life.

And when you question his timing or ask why, it’s because He is making you so much more than you were before.

Our glorious God knows what you’re going through and that is why He doesn’t pull you out, because He knows there is a plan for you without a doubt. 🎉🙏🏻
