Every day is really a choice of I Do or I Don’t. I Do or I Don’t want to be humble. I Do or I Don’t want to be kind. I Do or I Don’t want to be patient. I Do or I Don’t want to be selfless. I Do or I Don’t want to be compassionate. I Do or I Don’t want to love like Christ loved the Church. I Do or I Don’t want to submit as unto the Lord.
