BUYING LOVE

Today's reading: Song of Solomon 7-8

"...If a man tried to buy love with everything he owned, his offer would be utterly despised." Song of Solomon 8:7 NLT

Trying to buy someone's love? What a preposterous thought!

Never! Wouldn't even think of it! Not in a million years!

National news will report the sales amounts recorded for the Christmas season. It will report profits gained from the holiday shopping.

What the news will not report is this...

How much money was spent attempting to impress someone?

How many gifts were purchased trying to 'make up' for lost time, lost opportunities, lost years?

How many dollars were racked up in an effort to 'one up' the neighbors?

How many credit cards were maxed out renting storage units to hold all the stuff we 'need'?

To think... Jesus came to give all He had, for all we have done, in an effort to secure us an eternity with Him, desiring only our love in return.

Jesus paid the ultimate price for our salvation. What a gift of love!
