Destiny

"Simply put, there is no other true life. There are substitutes. There are second-hand copies. But you have only one destiny designed by God and only one life with which to discover it. You can't rewind, You can't start over. You'll never pass 'go.' One chance is all you get. Whoever heard of a game where you only get one turn? Welcome to real life. These are God's rules. You go around one time, then you stand before Him to give an account. You cannot see the future; you cannot cheat. You cannot really be sure of anything but Him. You and only you will give account for you. You cannot blame anyone or anything else for mistakes  or failures, You will be given full and unrestricted access to God, but only by faith. You cannot see Him or audibly hear Him. You will be given His Word and His promises. You will be subject to His laws, yet given the free will to rebel against a select number of them. In the end, you will face eternity. You will answer only to God, and you will live somewhere forever. there are no time-outs, and you never know for sure when the game will end. As you are learning the fame, it has already started, and it could end at any moment. You'll know that the game is over when you are flat on your face before Jesus Christ. Your turn will be first, you are the only player in your 'race,' and it's always your turn/ On your mark; get set; go!"
