When we use the faculty of choice in our lives we are acting from our true selves.  God gave us the capability to make decisions about how we want to see the world.  For a long time I thought I had no such faculty.  I viewed my life through the lens of a victim.  Yes, as a child I was the victim of incest, but I grew up.  There is nothing I can do to change that experience but I can use it to inform and build my faculty of choice.  I can continue to identify with that reality only or embrace the one I am in the present moment.  I can choose to accept God at her word when she tells me my true self was never harmed.  I have the faculty to believe when he whispers that even such a difficult circumstance can bring about the most trans formative experience.  My faculties include the ability to ask God, “Please help me see this differently,” when I am stuck in the myriad of difficulties of every day life and cannot see a way out.  The faculty of choice will never be taken from me as long as I am a child of God.  I may not always like my choices but they are within my power to make.
