The ability to choose
One of the most precious gifts our Heavenly Father has given us is the ability and power to make choices. You can choose what is right, or you can choose what is wrong. Whatever your choice, you also choose the consequences of your choices. Consequences always come—sometimes immediately, and sometimes later. Choosing good eventually leads to happiness. Wrong choices eventually lead to unhappiness. The choices you make affect not only yourself, but others as well. You may benefit from someone’s good choice, and someone may suffer from a bad choice that you make. Heavenly Father respects your freedom to choose. He will never force anyone to choose good, nor will He stop anyone from making wrong choices. He knows that by making choices and experiencing their consequences, you learn the difference between good and evil. As you learn to choose good, you find greater happiness.
