FMF: Make

16:40

‘To make’ is to make something, usually creatively in some way, and produce something – even if that something is unpleasant, unintended or unwanted.

I may make something physical – a meal, a garment, a hole in the floor, or just make a mess, but consciously or unwittingly, I have produces something by what I have done or not done. I have been active in exercising my will, one way or the other.

I may willingly or unwillingly make non-physical things/situations that also have consequences – I might make a good, or a bad, decision or choice; I may make an attempt at something – successfully or unsuccessfully. I may make a scene, make a bad smell, make a comment, make a joke, make a fool out of myself, make someone happy or make them angry.

I may make a mistake in what I do, or don’t do.

So the act of making something is in itself morally neutral, but what we make may turn out to be good or bad.

In short, I can make things better, or make things worse.

Accordingly, I am responsible for what I have made.

God made the world and everything in it. And He saw that it was good. What God makes is always good.

I pray every day that the choices, words and actions that I make will be good and wholesome and may bring glory to God.

I might make a great many things each day of my life, but I pray that I may make God pleased with my choices, words and actions.

I pray that you may also make good choices today.
