The Monster and The Baby…
In the late 19th century, a customs service worker in the Austrian Empire fell in love and married his cousin, Klara, who gave birth to 3 children, all of whom died as infants. Her fourth child, a son, survived. He was her treasure. The baby’s name: Adolfus Hitler, or Adolf Hitler.
What I’ve described to you is the birth of perhaps the most diabolical man ever born. Was this the birth of a monster? No. April 20, 1889 was the birth of a baby, not a monster.
That baby would grow up to be a monster because he’d make choices in his life of pride, anger, bitterness, self-pity, blame, selfishness, spite, and hatred.
This very powerfully confirms the Word of God. Throughout your life, you’re given choices which could lead you to become a monster on one hand or a saint on the other; life versus death.
Over the long run, you become what you choose: a monster or a saint. So God says, “choose life,” because you will be not what you were and not what you are, but what you choose. Choose life.
This day, I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you, life and death, blessings, and curses. Now choose life so that you and your children may live. Deuteronomy 30:19
In every decision you make today, choose the path of life.
Walk daily with God at your side!
Love always,
Ed 🙏🏼
