My weird sense of me--just loves to throw out skeptical remarks. In truth I tend to be a skeptic of the highest order -not proud--wish I could go around always thinking the glass is half full--not half empty. The combination of life experiences and a little side dose of low self esteem have made me look at the world through the lens of doubtful. My glasses are not rose colored, but perhaps a filmy gray. I call myself a realist, but truthfully I lean more toward pessimist. A perky optimist can absolutely send me up the wall, if I am not careful to hide my skepticism.
SO, when someone comes along with a "too good to be true offer", I ALWAYS think this is too good to be true. I have zero chance of ever winning any contest. I am convinced I will not win, so why try? If it sounds too good to be true, it is too good to be true- is my mantra. It is set in stone that I will never win any of these contests we see promoted, because my hard core doubt prevents me from bothering to enter them. NOW---AGAIN--I am not proud. BUT, that is who I am.
Recently I heard an offer that caught my ear. An all expense paid trip to a paradise beyond your wildest imagination. No strings attached--the trip is 100% paid for--at absolutely NO cost to me. And all I have to do is pledge my allegiance and loyalty to the payer. Do I once again roll my eyes or do I at least investigate the possibility? For the sake of my eternal soul---I took the offer and started the trip.
When you hear the offer, I hope you too will take it for truth--not only is it low cost--it is no cost to you. Jesus is waiting to issue you a ticket--all you have to do is believe.
"I give them eternal life,
and they will never perish,
and no one will snatch them out of my hand."
John 10:28
Now, entering that contest is a win-win for all of us!
