There is a popular game show that I’m sure most of us has watched, some for many years; contestants are given the opportunity to guess the cost of products and the one closest to the actual price gets the chance to play the game. The price is right for many years has given contestants prizes of great wealth or prizes worth nothing. The person who wins the most gets the opportunity to play for the big prize of the day; they are presented with 3 choices to pick from, picking the right door will give them the biggest deal of the day.
Life in some ways can be compared to a game show, we are all contestants in the game of life. Every time we get the opportunity to see a new day the choices we make will impact us positively or negatively. We go through our days not realizing the choices we make will determine the outcome of the end of the game. Some of us accumulate great wealth and power by taking advantage of others, they allow their baser nature to guide them to success at all cost.
Some choose , to not choose; they just move from one day to the next dealing with whatever the day may bring; they are victims of circumstances. Then there are those who choose to consider the welfare of others before themselves, they choose to serve. They go through life sharing themselves with the lost, lonely, unwanted, rejected, and despised; they shelter the homeless and feed the hungry. Every contestant in this game of life is influenced by their environment, their parents or teachers, and their belief system.
The spirit of selfishness has captured many, the spirit of indifference others and the spirit of selflessness many others. The time is coming when the game will end and the choices we make will reap their consequences, those who have chosen wisely will have avoided the pitfalls associated with this tainted world in which we live. Those who have been beguiled by the riches, glamour, and power offered by the darkness of this world will find themselves in danger of judgement and eternal death.
Fortunately for all the contestants in the game, there is a caveat to the game; a contestant has the opportunity to change the path they have chosen, forgiveness is on the table to any who wish to change course before the game ends. Each one will come to the end of the game of life at different times and in different ways, the choice of life or death is before them; it is important for those standing on the edge to reach out to Love that is willing to forgive, for why should they choose death/
God so loved the world that He gave His ONLY begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life, John 3:16. When we come to the threshold and the doors are before us; let us choose the right door, choose eternal life.
