We in America are a people who love to trade. If the price is right, the bargain attractive, the time propitious, we will trade almost anything, So let me offer you some things for trade that are not the usual items mentioned in time of barter. As out of the ordinary as they are they offer some great improvements.
Got a temper?..I offer you in trade a forgiving heart.
Got an inferiority complex? …I offer you the fact of a God who thought you were worth dying for.
Got a chip on your shoulder? I offer you the love of God to calm any insecurities that are often the cause of anger.
Got a nervous system that behaves like it is out of joint? I offer you the Lord’s peace that passeth understanding because it is not necessary that you understand it to benefit from it.
To hasten the affect softly repeat the word Jesus as you picture the name written in capital letters. Produce from the magic of your mind several scenes from his time here on earth. They are worth reproducing because after all He did it for YOU.
Turn to the gospels and search out the beauty of the 13th chapter of Corinthians.
I offer these thoughts to you not as one who has a corner on the market. I have no franchise on God’s love and power. I offer it to you only as one who has found it as a gift and who but prays that you will find it, too.
