Freedom To Choose

"Choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve,... But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD." (Joshua 24:15)
We have been given the freedom to choose what we see, what we pay attention to, what we rest our awareness on. There are zillions of things that can attract us, call us to themselves. Our task is to choose which ones we want to pay attention to, which ones we want to invest our energy in, for we cannot endure full consciousness of everything. We must focus on something more limited.
- Jane Marie Thibault in "A Deepening Love Affair"
