sInGLes is the one who paid a ransom for my soul. remember the old hymn that said, “Jesus paid it all. all to him i owe”? Well…the hymnist was right. I am to give him my all. i owe it to him! every thought, every action, every prayer, praise, and every honor - absolutely everything is owed to him. i am a product bought by Jesus and i am to do everything i can to bring satisfaction to him. after all, g did put a “satisfaction Guaranteed” label me. He did that in the garden of eden when He looked at mankind and blessed them (Gen. 1:28 KJV). His blessing upon mankind is His seal of approval; --- “satisfaction Guaranteed.” again, what does that have to do with me being satisfied? I become satisfied when I live up to the label that has been placed upon me. i am satisfied when I am living in a manner that is most pleasing and acceptable unto the Father. my satisfaction comes when i know that i am doing everything in my ability to bring satisfaction to the son. i become satisfied when I know that I am allowing the Holy spirit to be my guide in every area of my life. Think about it this way. when you buy something and it doesn’t live its intended purpose, do you do? most would either return the product, call the manufacturer with a complaint, or just simply throw it away. The good thing about god the Father being the manufacturer and od the son being the consumer is that they are like us. They were in agreement when the product was produced and bought. They agreed that the product had the capability to live up to its label, “satisfaction Guaranteed.” That is why they made us “according to their likeness.” That is why the Holy spirit dwells within us. To help us live out our label – “Satisfaction Guaranteed.” Now, i dare to ask you: are you satisfied? Are you living up to your label? “satisfaction Guaranteed”. 13 www.aboverubiesmag.com
