Life is like a monopoly game...

Life is like a monopoly game, in the end, everything goes back into the box. In a monopoly game, the main idea is to be rich, have lots of money, properties and houses and buildings. To beat the other opponents in terms of wealth. But have we ever thought, in the end, all the paper money and deeds, all of them will be kept back into the box. They are not real, not eternal.


This reminds us as Christians, in life, what do we seek, things that are eternal or things are in heaven? We should seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness. What we really really need, are already kept in us for heaven. Isn't it comforting that God has promised to take care of our future. That in the, we will be in paradise with Him. No more pain, no more sufferings. Everything will be perfect.

There are many analogies about Christian life. But I personally like this one; Christian walk is like a train ride. The train is already moving, meaning Christ has already died for us, saving us. There is nothing else we can do, but to hang on to the handles that are in the train. While we head towards our final destination, the train will shake, refering to trials in life. We just have to keep hanging on, persevering in our Christian walk, keep trusting God, putting our faith and focus on the cross. Even if we fall into temptations, all we got to do, is to realize our mistakes and confess to God. He will definitely forgive our sins.

Hang on brothers and sisters..
