Reality
The Bible says: “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption;
but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in
due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially
unto them who are of the household of faith.” Galatians 6:6-10 (KJV)
A golfer
who had been playing badly went to a psychiatrist who told him to relax by playing a round of golf without a ball. “Do
everything you would normally do, but use an imaginary ball,” advised the psychiatrist.” The golfer tried it the
next day. He stepped up on the first tee, imagined he got a 260-yard drive, made a fine approach shot to the green, then putted
for a par. The round went splendidly and as he approached the 18th hole, he met another golfer playing the same way; no ball.
The other golfer had seen the same psychiatrist. They decided to play the last hole together and
bet $10 on the outcome. The first golfer swung at his imaginary ball and announced that it had gone 280 yards right down the
middle of the fairway. The second golfer matched his drive. The first fellow then took out his 5-iron and after swinging at
his imaginary ball, he exclaimed, “Look at that shot! It went right over the pin and the reverse spin on it brought
it right back into the hole! I win.”
“No, you don’t,”
said the second golfer. “You hit my ball.”
Is what we are doing going
today and every day for the rest of our lives to count for the Kingdom of God?
