I scrolled through my Facebook feed, attempting to ignore all the fighting, hatred and name calling when I came across a "sponsored" post, also known as an advertisement, for some POV video recording sunglasses. I clicked on the link, because I've been wishing for a helmet cam for motorcycle riding for a while now. The ad showed a long video of a jet ski rider supposedly recorded with the exact same type of glasses that you can purchase for only $29. I want something that works, and I want it to be affordable to me, which means it needs to be cheap. But when I see something that claims to fit that description my first reaction is to not buy. That's right, I said not buy. I am afraid that the glasses are junk and don't really work well. I am afraid that this is a scam or a ripoff somehow.
But what if someone told me that these glasses are really $100 and work perfectly? What if the reason that the manufacturer can offer them at this rate is that there is a super rich guy who loves the way they work so much that he wants everyone who wants them to have them? What if someone said he is paying the $70 so that we can only pay $30? More tempted or less?
Well, that's not the case with the glasses, and I'm still trying to decide if they're worth the risk or not. It is however, close to what happened with us spiritually. There is an awesome experience in having a relationship with God. Nothing compares. The problem is the cost is so high and the qualifications are so exclusive that no one can purchase it. Only one person could, and He had enough to do it for everyone. Now anyone, and I mean anyone regardless of any category of any box that can be checked or unchecked, can have a relationship with God....absolutely free. In fact if you try to add your money or your effort to pay what you are able you mess up the transaction. It doesn't work that way. It is all done and paid for. No scam. The original, perfect love of loves can be yours for absolutely nothing, but it will still cost you everything. This relationship so powerful that you can not have it and remain the same. It will change you. All that fear and doubt and confusion and misery and the such get harder and harder to experience and hold on to the closer you get to Daddy.
