The Choice by Marion Bond West

We have to make a choice.
To live in despair, or joy.
To walk in fear, or in Faith.
To dwell under the shadow of the Almighty,
or reside in open spaces of self effort.

There is no in between place, no halfway house.
It's one way or the other.
Pity for ourselves, or compassion for others.
Lonliness or reaching out.

Joy and happiness are not even related.
Joy springs from deep within
 and has nothing to do with circumstances.

Jesus promised us Joy...
Happiness comes from without.
