If You’re Broken, God Offers a Money-Back Guarantee
Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, “I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!” (Mark 9:24)
God graciously offers you a “Money-Back Guarantee.”
When you buy an appliance, a manual usually comes with it that says: “Read this before you hook it up.” It also says: “You’ve just purchased a television that can do XYZ.” You’ve never seen the television do that before, but the manual says it can and will because the manufacturer made it possible for it to do it. At the end of the manual, there is usually a little phrase that says: “If there is any defect, return the merchandise to the manufacturer for a free replacement.” The manufacturer is guaranteeing the potential of the thing.
God mercifully says to you, “If there are any defects, return to the Manufacturer.” Isn’t that a blessing? If you aren’t working out, take your stuff back to the Chief. The Chief will work it out. “Come unto Me,” God says. “I’m the only One who can fix you.” God already has guaranteed what you can do.
“God wired you to produce everything He demands.”
God is good. He has built into you the potential to produce everything He calls for. When God says, “Love your enemies,” don’t start listing reasons why you can’t. The ability to love is built in, it’s there, no excuses. God wouldn’t ask for it if it wasn’t available. He wired you to produce everything He demands.
God also wired everything else to produce what He demands from it. God looks at a piece of fruit and says, “In you there is a tree. There is a seed in you, and that seed is a tree. It’s there, and I demand what I put in.” So God says, “Plant that seed and a tree has to come out; I put a tree in that seed. Before you were given the fruit, I made the seed with the tree.” That’s the way God thinks. Hallelujah!
