“All the world's a stage and all the men and women merely players,” so says Shakespeare, and in a way he could not be more right. We are all playing out our lives before one another. According to the Scriptures, our lives are played out before a 'great cloud of witnesses'. But I believe it is best, if in our mind's eye, we narrow the size of our audience to only one.
Our lives should be played out before God, seeking to please Him and Him alone. In doing so we will please some, we will offend others, but, since He is the only critic who really matters, why worry about the others so much. He is the one who will write the review at the end of our performance. He alone looks past the act into the motives behind what we do. Only He truly knows how well we played the part that was written by Him just for us. © Rachel Whelan August 2011
