SIRACH 15:14-15
It was he who created humankind in the beginning,and he left them in the power of their own free choice.
If you choose, you can keep the commandments,
and to act faithfully is a matter of your own choice.
---- mine,
Choose wisely, act faithfully, keep the Law of Love for God and neighbor. If you wish to know joy in this life and eternal joy in the life to come then choose life, choose love, choose to serve with a glad heart and a willing spirit. Bend your will to the will of the Father. You know what the God of love desires of you, what pleases and delights Him and so choose these things that He desires, that please and delight Him. Seek life in its fullness which is a life of purity and holiness. Strive after the things that testify that you are a child of God and you will inherit a share in My Kingdom. Your free will is a gift for in freely choosing the right, the true, the good, and the beautiful you choose Me and in choosing Me you also choose the Father and the Spirit and we will come to you, abide in you and, make our home in you.
