Give me that Full-Price Love
Life here on this planet constantly requires us to sell/market ourselves.
Whether to the Mirror that we glance at, the Interviewer who can gives us a job/The Customer who has the power to give a tip or not/The Boss who can promote or demote you/The Teacher who can pour in to you/and often own friends and family and others. We put ourselves on display, yet some days we are like the products on display just waiting for someone to notice US, to take US of our shelves. For someone to like US enough, to invest in US. Waiting for someone to affirm US. But what happens when we don't get it? We feel like that product that is then delegated to the back off the store or the basement or discounted at 75% off.

I am so eternally grateful that I don't have to market myself to God. In fact, he has already paid for me, even before I was made. I didn't even have to go on display before being delicately placed in HIS shopping cart. He paid the FULL price, no discount, no layaway, no bartering.......
Between you and me, I got to say that I like what FULL-PRICE-Love feels like. You see this relationship with the FATHER sets an example where we should NOT settle for Love purchased at a discount in the key relationships in our own lives.
Let them PAY FULL PRICE TOO
