Let's make a Deal! Remember the game show? One popular game of suspense that occurred frequently on the show was when a contestant was asked to choose one of three doors without knowing what was concealed behind it. After vacillating back and forth, the decision was made and the contestant anxiously waited to see what was behind the door. Sometimes it would be a new car that was received with great enthusiasm. At other times, the outcome was a hoax met with a disappointing sigh, but after all, it was only a game of luck.
Well, life isn't a game and most people don't want to venture out on a risk. But, what if you were told you're like that contestant only with one major difference? You're going to be told what's behind each door and then you can choose. Would you do it?Read on.
Behind door one - your past. You can continue to let past abuse, broken relationships, or previous failures keep you inactive, held back, and tied down. Or, you can break free of the past and choose something different like door two!
Behind door two - the present. You can choose to focus on the present and get caught up in all this world has to offer.Sounds pretty good, huh? You can pursue wealth, popularity, fun, and excitement. This present world has a lot to offer. This is sounding much better and closer to what you've dreamed of for yourself and your family. Right? Maybe this is where you are. Perhaps you haven't allowed failures to hold you back. You're forging ahead at great speed - pursuing more out of life. "Is there something else to consider?" you ask. Yes. Its behind door three!
Behind door three - God and His dream for you. "Really?" you inquire with a tone of disbelief. "It's not that simple. Besides does God really have something unique in mind for me - a dream to pursue?" The answer is yes. He does. The decision is yours. The choice is up to you.
