The Implication of a wasted time
The Implication of a
wasted time
The story of life and memes that people commonly use to
engage in all forms of ungodly act.
A boy was sent by his father to urgently buy him food from a
restaurant. On his way going, he was in a hurry because of the urgency of the
assignment. However. On his way back, he passed where his mates were playing
football. He began to watch the game, gradually slowing down until he finally
stopped. He watched for a while and were carried away, he became interested,
and indicated his interest in playing, and he was invited. He left the food in
the care of some unknown people and entered the field. He forgot the assignment
completely and played his heart out. He became the man of the match, dribbled
opponents, created the chances, scored goals and changed the face of the entire
game. When night came, the owner of the ball picked it up. It was time for
everyone to go home; to go back to his or her parents, the game was over!
It now dawned on the boy after everyone had left that he had actually been sent to buy food by his hungry father. He went to where he kept the food, it had already been eaten by goats and dogs, “but I kept this food with some guys here a moment ago.” He said.
He picked the plates, but as no longer happy, all the
excitement of the game disappeared, the people clapping for him were all gone,
the opponents he was playing against were all gone, the ball itself was gone,
those selling food were gone, he could not buy another!
Regrets took over him he sluggishly walked home, with tears
of sorrow and regrets whilst hiding in the dark.
When people saw him, they asked him why he was crying and hiding
in the dark with empty plates! He had left with clean plates full of
excitement, but returned with same empty plates, so dirty and stained!
When they asked him “Why he couldn’t go home, he said his
father will beat him.”
He knew the implications of a wasted time. So sad, too late.
Hear this: We have a home and a Father to return to at the
end of life’s journey, when all is said and done.
WHEN THE GAME IS OVER, WE SHALL RETURN HOME.
Do not be distracted, do not rejoice when people are
clapping for you while doing the wrong things, they will not be there when you
are to give account.
Avoid distractions,
we are sent here for an assignment, the Father is waiting for us, this ball we
are busy playing, when night comes, the owner will pick it, the crowd will
disappear, we’ll be left alone to go back and give reports to our maker.
What will you tell Him?
