Your free offer is about to expire.....



Don't you tire of the spam mail?  I just deleted about 100 of them.  It took a while, but I have learned to disregard those urgent looking subject lines.

Last minute offer....
Important information about your credit....
Important information about your account...
You have an important message....
I've seen your profile and I'd like to meet you...
Get the funds you need.....
Disability, do you qualify.....

Dozens and dozens with new ones every week.  Occasionally I get fooled and actually look before deleting....(I'm wondering if that's what is wrong with one of my computers...)

Free offers make me immediately wonder what the catch is.  It is easy for me to ignore those, I'm not even interested in knowing what they want to give me 'free'.  I have learned that there is really not much in our culture that is free.  You either pay, or there is a hook hidden in that bait somewhere. I know that I will pay one way or the other. 

There is only one offer that is really free.  And it took me years to stop trying to pay for it.  "....you have been set free from sin.....the wages of sin is death.."(Romans 6:22-23)


What I owe for my inability to live a perfect life (sin) is death.  You owe it too.  Every single human ever to be born owes it. 

Except One.

And because He was perfect He is able to make an incredible free offer.
That offer is valid right now.
It doesn't expire until you do.
He knows way more about you that what your Facebook profile reveals.
He wants desperately for you to meet Him.
You do qualify, but you must accept the offer.

And there is a very important message....  He loves you with a love you are incapable of understanding or duplicating.

The important information about all this is recorded in the pages of scripture.

Get what you need to pay this debt you owe.  And when your debt is paid, don't think you have to work off the loan..cause it's not a loan.  It's a gift. So just be fascinated and captivated by the Giver of the gift and start today to spend every moment of every day in His company. 

He is so good.  Hallelujah.
