Choice. Action.Consequences

While in the midst of preparing for my exams, as I prayed...I was reminded of this simple truth in life...

"whatever choice you make, consider beyond the immediate effect, but rather the long term consequences..."

d(choice)/d( time) = action

d(action)/d(time) = consequence

I must admit, sometimes I make choices for my own self interest and benefit...but as I think deeper, then I realised the decision is not parallel to my purpose in life, thus the internal conflict in my head.

I remember what my shepherd said to me...

"Whatever decision you make, always check your heart, ask yourself.."Does it honour God? "

..Is it done out of love for people, love for God, or it is to please my own sinful desire, for my own comfort and pleasure?

Is it in accordance to the values and principles laid down in the bible?
