I know a story of two brothers:
The older and the younger
One who stayed, one who left
And the One who loved them both.
It was never about choosing between them
Like one would choose orange over green
Like one might choose the sunset over the sunrise.
Love isn't about choosing what we want:
Like one sister over another
Or one friend over another
Or one church over another
Love is about choosing God's will.
Sometimes God calls us to choose what makes the most sense.
Other times what makes no sense at all, at least from a human perspective.
Sometimes God calls us to celebrate what we have.
Other times He asks us wait.
Choosing the will of God is about dying to self.
Its about choosing the life He calls us to live.
"You are always with me and all that is mine is yours. But we had to celebrate and rejoice because this brother of yours was dead and has come to life, he was lost and has been found."
