Selling Yourself

5/26/2017

I used to be in Sales and Advertising Sales.  Actually, we are all in Sales.  We are selling ourselves to others all throughout life.  We sell ourselves at an interview, to our children when we are promoting chores instead of Xbox, to a friend to see one movie over another, or to a significant other in a marriage proposal.  (Actually, I was bought and returned on that one once, but it’s all okay now.)  The list goes on.

     There is a common sales and advertising slogan.  “You’ll be so glad you did.”  You’ll be so glad you bought my product.  You’ll be so glad you’ve invested in my service.  This saying has always stuck with me and I now apply it to more situations than selling or making money. 

      “You’ll be so glad you did.”  My friends may even hear me say or write it.  I wonder if they know I
am trying to persuade them when I do.

      This is where the saying really fits well.  You will be so glad you did not sin.  You will be so glad you did not eat those extra snacks.  You’ll be so glad you did not spend the extra money. You will be so glad you put in the extra time into that project.  You will be so glad you did not say those extra words positioned to leap off your tongue. You’ll be so glad you gave more than you originally wanted to. 
You’ll be so glad you went the extra mile.  You’ll be so glad you did not withhold.  You’ll be so glad you did not disappoint God. You will be so glad you did not grieve the Lord.  You will be so glad you did not take advantage of His blood that He shed for you. You will be satisfied.  God will be pleased and you will be with peace.  
 
      Satisfied.  The word resonates sweetness.  Generally, we are satisfied when we have no or few regrets.  Isn’t that worth so much.

      So considering “You’ll be so glad you did” the next time you really want to do something and you know you shouldn’t is a good thing.  Consider it too when you really don’t want to do something and know you should.  Sell yourself on it.  You’ll be so glad you did.


     You may have to refuse the urge several times of that thing you want to participate in. You may have to ask God several times for the grace and strength to withstand.   You may have to say “Lord, make me willing.”  And He will.

      Life cannot always or even frequently be about the immediate pleasure, but in long term prospering.  Many times we cannot easily go back to change things.  It may take a long
time and much pain and prayer.  I’ve been saying “NO” to a bag of chips all evening, and come tomorrow, I’ll not be wishing I had done differently.  (And I’ll be so glad when my son eats
them before me.)

     And this is where discipline and strength from the Lord comes in.  Seek Him and it will be provided. 

“I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.”  Psalm 59:16, 17

“All your commands are trustworthy;” Psalm 119:86

So consider all deeply…You’ll be so glad you did.
