Do you have a problem making decisions? I do. I want to gather data. I want to know everything there is to know about a subject. I want to know that I'm making the very best decision possible. Sometimes this process works, and the decision turns out well. And sometimes I vacillate until it's too late and I've made a decision I didn't want by default.
Then there are the times when I invite the Savior in to the decision making process. What a difference. When I listen to the Savior's voice and take His guidance, I am confident in my decision. Too frequently, though, I forget to invite Him. Pretty dumb, huh? Why don't I remember that His counsel will never lead me astray?
So, for today, I am grateful for those times when I remember to include the Savior.
Not only do I have problems making decisions, I have trouble acknowledging that a decision I have made is a bad one and needs to be remedied. At those times, it's all too easy to picture the Savior sighing at me. But I don't believe he does. I believe his hand is stretched out still.
