With the many challenges in the world today, almost each one of us faces a decision point in life where a choice has to be made; whether right or wrong . With the numerous intense pressures of life, doing right seems like an uphill battle quite often. I remember one time one of my bosses at work made a statement ” Always aim at doing the right thing”. It later turned out that he was at a  financial decision point in his life and had a choice to make. I clearly remember that he made the right choice.

Indeed  Christians ( of which am a member) are taught and are aware that doing right is fundamental in a good relationship with God.

Doing right is not a requirement limited only to those who are religious. It is an important and useful principle designed to shield and protect us against unfair, undesirable, dangerous and some times potentially fatal situations. You can`t go wrong when you do what is right. Some of those who cheat on their spouses ( adulterers) have lost their marriages and some of those involved in fraudulent activities have lost jobs. On another spectrum disobedient children have made wrong choices in life. Some have died because of those choices

Today am not talking about the consequences of wrong doing, but the healing that one feels on doing right. I know many here will say that many wrong doers never pay for their wrongs and many of those who do right suffer a lot in life. The difference is that the the former never brings about the healing associated with the later. Ultimately this is what counts and its a wonderful experience!

I had an “opportunity” to be tried on this very common scenario. Frankly there are very few opportunities of getting some thing without effort or getting a really good item at a very low cost. Some years back,I bought a second hand car at a “give away price” . It looked good and totally clean. On seeing it while I drove, my workmate thought it was new and would not believe that it was a second hand vehicle.

The car gave me the worst problems I have ever encountered with  a car. I probably spent half the buying price making repairs on it.

It may be any thing; a  house, an educational course, anything! Please don`t get me wrong. There still exist good affordable priced items/services. One just has to be extra careful.

Many examples can go for people. Use extra judgement when dealing with extremely generous strangers or cunning individuals.

Do you have any experiences with things being so good to be true? Let`s learn from each other.
