Do we offer ourselves to the higher bidder? Do we look at things as non-conditional, and not up for discussion or negotiation. Are things contempt prior to investigation?
We don't auction our soul to the Devil! We continue to have a conscious contact with the God of our understanding. We open our mind and heart as to how He can work in our life. Do we have rose-coloured glasses, do we wear blinders because we do not want to see, do we miss out on blessings, because we are not open to them.
We limit our God by the label we put on Him. A label is just a label, and it means nothing, if we can't see beyond it. Just because I am an addict, doesn't mean I can't recover. I don't have to bargain for my recovery, I just have to live it clean and sober, clean house, live in today, and leave tomorrow in my God's Hands.
