At that pivotal moment, it occurred to him that with all his schooling in theology he had, perhaps, missed the entire point of his studies, the very crux of the gospel he had professed to believe. That the measure of a person’s heart, the barometer of good or evil, was nothing more than the extent of their willingness to choose life over death. That the path of God was, simply, the path of life, abundant and eternal. And this is where he failed, for to choose life is to choose sorrow as well as joy, pain as well as pleasure. When Hunter had buried Rachel, he buried along with her his heart, lest it might heal and feel and grow again. And in so doing he had chosen more than death, he had chosen damnation itself, for damnation is nothing more than to stop a thing in its eternal progression. In that first flight from West Chester he had run not only from the horror and pain of death but from life itself. ”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Richard Paul Evans" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/richard-paul-evans/or-he-could-choose-life-at-that-pivotal-moment-it-occurred-to-him/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e64/richard-paul-evans-1002_choose-life_or-he-could-choose-life-at-that-pivotal_3020135.png", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e64/richard-paul-evans-1002_choose-life_or-he-could-choose-life-at-that-pivotal_3020135.png", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e64/richard-paul-evans-1002_choose-life_or-he-could-choose-life-at-that-pivotal_3020135.png", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“…Or he could choose life.
