CUT IT OFF!

"if you try to sit on two chairs, you will fall between them. For life, you must choose one chair.'" - Luciano's Father

In life, where we are today is a result of past decisions and choices. Where we will be tomorrow, or what our lives will eventually become will be determined by the choices we choose to make now, or cut off altogether. The point is, making one choice automatically changes 'what could've been.' The question now is, "How do we know what to cut off, or allow?"

Kenneth Langley relates about Film maker Walt Disney. Walt was ruthless in cutting anything that got in the way of a story's pacing. Ward Kimball, one of the animators for Snow White, recalls working 240 days on a 4 1/2 minute sequence in which the dwarfs made soup for Snow White and almost destroyed the kitchen in the process. Disney thought it was funny, but he decided the scene stopped the flow of the picture, so out it went. When the film of our lives is shown, will it be as great as it
might be? A lot will depend on the multitude of "good" things we need to eliminate to make way for the great things God wants to do through us.

Millions have seen the movie 'Snow White and the 7 dwarfs' I bet no one sees the movie, and knows any part was cut off, because the originator of the story knew how he wanted it to end. In the same way in our lives, God is the originator of our story. He alone knows how it should end. Ask Him to direct you today, as you animate your life, the scenes to allow to remain, or cut off!

Let us pray: Father, direct me today, in Jesus name.
