Deciding Factors

You make decisions in your life,
Maybe creates success or strife;
How it is perceived that just may,
Affect the lives of others someway.

Not just a matter to say yes or no,
But of the long term for to flow;
A very tempting offer at the start,
Possibly wind up breaking a heart.

It is a matter of weighing the fact,
Before going headstrong to enact;
Look at both the cons and the pros,
As well as pray to God who knows.

We have to look at where our need,
Does not turn into a personal greed;
Sometimes what we have to suffice,
Allowing an opportunity to sacrifice.

Needs of many outweigh of the few,
As God knows what is right for you;
We may not know what is in His plan,
But follow Him to remain in His clan.
