Over Christmas break, I was watching an interview on CNN with Kelsey Grammar. He was talking about how he is on his fourth marriage and how he had overcome a cocaine addiction.
In talking about his addiction, he said, “Cocaine is amazing. It’s so much fun. I loved doing it.” The interviewer then asked, “Then how did you overcome the addiction?”
He said that he went through therapy and his therapist asked him one question that changed everything.
Yesterday I talked about the power of single decisions and their ability to change our lives forever. The greatest decision I’ve ever made that has changed my life forever is the decision to have a relationship with God. It’s changed everything.
For we are God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live]. ~Ephesians 2:10
It is amazing to me how God can use one decision we make to change everything! If we are honest, we often don’t know what we’re supposed to do or what decision we are supposed to make. For the first 18 years of my life, I made my own decisions. I was horrible at making decisions. My decisions led me to do things that I wish I would have never done.
When I was 18 I started pursuing God! That single decision changed everything! From that moment on, while my decision-making wasn’t perfect, the decisions I did make were ones I believe God was leading me to make. All of a sudden, every decision I made seemed to be taking me somewhere! I can point to tons of individual decisions that I made as a result of pursuing God and how those decisions changed my life forever.
