a cheat code life

I love to play video games. I made an interesting observation about cheat codes for games. Once you have cheat codes you are pretty much done playing the game. To me, the game becomes boring especially if it is an unlock of all the characters or abilities for your character that you play with. I thought about the crap that we go through in life and wanting to get the “cheat code” so that we can get to the end of what God is trying to show us. If we did get that kind of advantage in life I don’t think that we would be learning anything and basically life would be too easy. If you are going through something major in your life you need to look at what you are learning in the midst of it instead of wanting to just get to the end. The question is not “if” we are going to have crap that we deal with in life, it is more the “how” are we going to come through those issues and what are we learning on the other side of them. If we live a life of “cheat codes” we limit our ability to learn from losing the game sometimes and trying harder next time.
