So, What Have I Chosen?

I am giving a lesson in High Priests today and came across this quote from C.S. Lewis that I had to write. He has always been an author who's words have had great influence on me and this quote is no different.

"If you have not chosen the Kingdom of God, it will make in the end no difference what you have chosen instead. Those are hard words to take. Will it really make no difference whether it was women or patriotism, cocaine or art, whisky or a seat in the Cabinet, money or science? Well, surely no difference that matters. We shall have missed the end for which we are formed and rejected the only thing that satisfies. Does it matter to a man dying in a desert by which choice of route he missed the only well?"
