Who Knows What Tomorrow Will Bring?

So this last week I've been doing a lot of thinking. Why do we wait for all these things to happen? Why do we set our minds on so many possibilities and not go for real things? Why do we insist on believing in the impossible when it is impossible? We're told in Jeremiah 29:11 "'For I know the plans I have for you" says the Lord. 'They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and to give you hope." But the choices are ours, right?

We all have choices to make, and with those choices come consequences, we all know that, and I'm sure we've all been there and made bad choices at one time or another. But There are also choices that have huge rewards.

So here's the scenario; There are two choices to be made, one has the potential to be amazing and great, the other will hurt for a while but something better will come along to fix it and it will be better than the last choice. But theres hurt there, which makes it resentful. Now lets say that the one that is good has the potential to hurt quite a few people if it doesn't work out right, but the other choice will only hurt one person: yourself. I'm not sure, but most people dont' like to hurt others, so they might pick the one that only hurts themselves. But what if your feeling led to the one that could actually cause damage? Is it worth the risk? Is it worth the effort, the wait, the trust, the hurt, the pain?

Or is giving up really the right choice?
