Why Call Me “Lord”?

In Touch Daily Devotional: Luke 6:46-49

Increase my faith Jesus so I can daily count the cost of following you when making tough choices, but especially when making choices in the face of temptation. Remind me clearly, and harshly if necessary, that following the easy path is usually not always the right path.

I’m reminded of that quote I read recently from Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis:

… every time you make a choice, you are turning the central part of you, the part of you that chooses, into something a little different from what it was before. And, taking your life as a whole, with all your innumerable choices, all your life long you are slowly turning this central thing either into a Heaven creature or into a hellish creature…

I don’t want to look back near the end of my life and see that I’ve become a hound from hell without realizing it based on the collection of small choices made over several years.
