All of this explains why I've become so addicted to eBay. Because of the awesome people I get to deal with, the great products I'm so privileged to see, and the truly amazing deals just waiting to be made... all so I can continue in my personal walk.
I didn't just wake up one day and say, "ya know... I think I'll start helping people." It's who I am, who I've always been. By being there for others, helping them with whatever they might need, I get to show a living example of Jesus Christ's love.
I'm not perfect by any means, and I'll be the first to admit that. But He was, and He did what no one else could ever hope to do. He went to the cross in our place, to pay the price for OUR sins. He was put to death, but then rose again. He conquered death, and offered us a seat at His table. If we simply acknowledge that we have fallen short of the standard, which is a perfect and sinless life... If we ask Him into our heart, to take control of our life and thereby our eternal destiny... Then He will accept us, freeing us from condemnation, and upon our dying breath receive us into His eternal kingdom. Please take this moment to reflect on your own life. I can tell you my own great and miraculous story, and maybe that would show you a real life example of being His. But only if your heart is already open.
He stands, knocking at the door... Will you let Him in?
