With every decision comes consequences. I know that most of the time we don't get to choose the consequences we get but I think it's fair to say that sometimes we can predict what they will be.
Here is where it gets tricky. I recently made the decision to do something that would end up hurting 2 people in my life. I weighed it out in my mind for a few days so I didn't do anything rash. I determined that it was for the greater good and that it had to be done. I knew what the consequences would be and I decided I could live with the fallout because I had to.
I did it and found out that I was mistaken in my thinking. I still stand by what I did though because it was quite literally, a life or death situation. I took it like a man (so to speak) and apologized profusely for the damage I had done, knowing it can never really be undone.
The fallout for me has been a lot of turmoil. I know I did what was right but in a very wrong way. I did not handle it at all like my Savior would have and that is the agony I am in right now. I hate the moments in life when you realize you are not a very good person. It hurts.
Maybe next time I will take a little more time to really consider how He would handle it. I am sure that those consequences don't hurt nearly as bad.
