THE LAW OF CONSEQUENCE

One’s life is colored, influenced, changed, improved, damaged, happier, or gloomier---take your pick of words---by the choices one makes.  And every choice has consequences.  As it says in a Biblical truth found in Galatians, “…A man (woman) reaps what he (she) sows.”  We cannot escape the consequences, good or bad, of the choices we make.  You have the power to choose right or wrong.  You are not simply a pawn of happenstance or luck.  Our choices affect others as well, benefitting or hurting them.  “No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent…” as John Donne, English poet, lawyer, and priest wrote.  Donne’s words ring as true today as when he penned them in the 16^th century.   With every significant choice you make, weigh consequences for yourself and others important in your life.
