Sale Rack

Psalm 51:2 wash me clean from my guilt. Purify me from my sin.Storeowners want us to buy their merchandise at full price; therefore they place the sale rack in the rear of the store. As I make my way toward the back of the store to look through the sales, many times I notice sign merchandise sold as is. It is at this point I begin to scrutinize each item I pull from the rack. Some have small stains on them, little rips or tears, seams, which are undone, buttons missing, makeup marks, broken zippers and a variety of other flaws. Each has a red X on the tag, noting that it is a sale "as is" item. If I buy an item from the sale rack, I make a close inspection to make sure it is in as perfect a condition as possible I don't want tarnished goods!

Thank goodness God is not like I am when it comes to accepting us. He removes us from the rack of life no matter if we are on the sale rack or proudly displayed with the new items. He accepts us as we are- stained, broken, torn or dirty. He takes us while we are full of sin and loves us immensely. Our sorry spiritual, physical or emotional condition will not stop Him from lovingly removing us from that rack of life. We can be accepted by God himself, if we choose to do so. For unlike the clothes in the store, God has given us free will to accept His offer to take us off the rack of an unfulfilled life. We are a most blessed people, with a loving Heavenly Father. His arms are outstretched today. Don't miss His beckoning!
