One of my favorite books is “Make peace with anyone”, by David J. Lieberman. In one of those paragraphs the author talks of when you have to make a decision in life, any decision there is always a combination of three underlying motives.
You can choose what feels good
You can choose what makes you look good
You can choose to do what is good and right
The first two motivations chip away at our self- esteem, while the third makes us feel good about ourselves and who we are. So when you make a choice to do what is right, you feel good about yourself. This is because to feel good you must do good, not what feels good or looks good. Only when you are able to choose responsibly are you in charge of your life and do you gain self-respect. So what determines the choices that you are making as a mum?
My conclusion - the Word of God is a sure foundation. Choose to do what is good and right in the light of God’s word.
