I was explaining to someone over the weekend my decision-making process for making big purchases. I visualize the item I want to purchase sitting beside the stack of money that it costs. If I determine that this item that I think I HAVE to have is better than the money, I buy it, if not, I keep my money.
I have found in my life that we buy a lot of things that we don't really need. We're prone to buying things because we think they will add value to our lives, only to find out they are nothing more than clutter. However, when we do buy something that turns out to be invaluable to us, we hold on to it forever.
Today's word is Ephesians 1:7, NLT, which reads, "He is so rich in kindness and grace that He purchased our freedom with the blood of His son and forgave our sins."
GOD made a purchase decision that involved us and eternity. The only thing that was valuable enough to buy us back was His Son. The only thing that could make us righteous enough to be a part of His family was the blood of JESUS. GOD looked at the situation and determined that we were worth it! That is how much GOD loves you and wants a relationship with you!
We will all make big decisions in our lives: where we go to college, what we do as a career, whom we marry, etc. But, NO decision is as important as where we will spend eternity. Choose GOD!
Be Blessed,
