The first choice, of course, is whether we believe God at all or not. If we make the decision that He exists and that at least the main outline of the Gospels is true, then we have to decide whether we will put our faith in Him completely or if we will make our own choices.

When faced with the decision of which pill to take, the red or the blue, Morhpeus tells Neo, "This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill, the story ends...You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes."

It is the same for us. Once we decide to follow God, there is no turning back. Not that He won't allow us to turn back. I believe He will. But we are forever changed and we will never again be able to say, "I didn't know I should follow God...I didn't know His way was best."

It is a hard choice to make, actually. Many Christians forget how hard it was to make the choice to put our faith in Him. But most of us are still working on it. We put our faith in Him on some things and not on others. I can trust that Yeshua died for my sins and I am forgiven, but trusting Him for my food every day...that's harder. Mother Teresa trusted Him to feed not only her, but anyone she took care of. And He was faithful. I don't think He has asked this specific thing of me, but I know I spend a great deal more time worrying about my bills than I should. If I truly trusted Him (and if I was truly faithful with the money He has given me) I wouldn't have to worry. Fortunately He is understanding and is patient while we work these things out.
