The Game

 Most people consider life a battle, but it is not a battle, it is a game.
 It is a game, however, that cannot be played successfully without the knowledge of Spiritual Law and the Old and the New Testaments give the rules of the game with wonderful clearness. Jesus Christ taught that is was great game of Giving and Receiving.
 Whatever we send out in word or deed will return to us; what we give, we will receive.
 If we give hate, we will receive hate; if we give love, we will receive love; if we give criticism, we will receive criticism; if we lie, we will be lied to; if we cheat, we will be cheated. We are taught, also, that the imaging faculty plays a leading part in the Game of Life.
 Nothing but fear and doubt stands between us and our highest ideals and every desire of our heart.

Ask and it shall be given you, seek, and ye shall find, knock, and it shall be opened unto you. (Mat. 7:7)
 Death and Life are in the power of the tongue. (Prov. 18:21)
From the book called-The complete writings of Florence Scovel Shinn for women.
