“It will ABSOLUTELY CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!”

            Is it just me or is anyone else noticing how much attention is being paid to one’s bodily appearance. I mean it been that way, seems like forever; however, it seems more than ever lately.  All the commercials for this makeup or that weight loss product. And jewelry? Look no further than the HOME SHOPPING NETWORK. They’ll even give you an account on credit for those spontaneous, ‘gotta haves’ (and that, my friends, is how you slowly build a mountain of debt.).

            Trust me, none of the “things” advertised on TV or the Internet will NOT change your life. Will they have some immediate positive impact on your life, perhaps, but like a child who tires within hours of receiving that toy he simply HAD to have, the impact fades rather quickly. The Lord provides a lasting impact on your life that changes it permanently, as in for all eternity.

            All the ABSOLUTES in the buying world are nothing more than a money grab. You honestly don’t need whatever they’re selling. The sales folks know exactly what to say to make people feel like they must have what is being sold. It’s a trap that when repeated endlessly can ruin your life and the lives of those who depend on you. Salvation is the ONLY thing you must have to exist beyond the grave and have your sins forgiven. Everything else is temporary and not worth what you pay for it. 

            Please understand, I’m not advocating buying nothing for yourself. Not at all. What I’m actually trying to pinpoint the fact that these trained professionals know how to take advantage of listeners / watchers so that they buy things they never needed. It’s fine to buy something you just want, just be mindful of the traps. I’m no expert on this subject other than the fact that I wrestle with unpaid debt like so many other folks. So you could say I speak from personal experience. Seek the face of God for guidance and direction in all things and listen attentively for the answer.

            Until next time, walk with the King & be a blessing.

In His Name & for His Glory,
