Maybe it was a mountain, tree, animal, maybe even yourself – what stirred you up in that reflection? 4. God is the life-giver. In what ways do you sense him giving you life right now? 5.

In your life, practically how has this path been before you and how have you chosen life? 8. How do we choose life? To follow Jesus commands. Read Matthew 22:37-40. How do we love God and love others more fully? 9. In what way do you sense God calling you to choose life this week? Next >
