High Cost Choices -- Low Cost Choices

We all make a lot of choices in life. Some are high cost and some are low cost. Some of our high cost choices might be things like who we marry; where we live; what vocation we choose, etc. They effect us greatly and in fact determine much in our lives. Then there are the low cost choices. They might be things like; what we eat today, what we choose to wear, what color we paint our living room, which pair of shoes to buy, etc. They don't have that great of an impact on our lives and are fairly easy to change.
It would be wonderful if we could always put a choice into either one box or the other and then determine how much effort and thought should go into making that choice. Sometimes we mix up the value of choices. We put too much effort and consideration into a low cost choice and not enough consideration into a high cost choice. We end up scratching our heads and wondering how in the world did we ever get into this situation.
I think most of us get better at determining what kind of choice is before us as we age. Life teaches us what has value and what really doesn't matter. Unfortunately for most, the choices made in youth often are the high cost choices and affect the rest of our lives. That's where knowing and believing in a God who forgives and extends grace to all of us is a great comfort. Some of my choices can't be undone. But I can see God's grace and His ability to use even what I only valued as a low cost choice when in reality it was high cost to shape and mold me and use all my choices to ultimately bring glory to Himself.
