All of us travel with at least one story that draws us and
defines us. Commercials do nothing more than entice us to adopt their story – “You’re
a winner, a cut above the rest (of the losers)” or “You need help and we have
it” or “Your looks are the real you – better spruce up a bit” or “All you
suffer from is not being either hip enough or productive enough (okay, maybe
pretty or manly enough as well,)” or “Life would be perfect if you only had
this.”
These stories divide the world into two categories – winners
and losers. If you are a winner, you might be a loser tomorrow. Don’t let up. If
you are a loser, we could make you a winner (only to lose again later.)
Christianity has so much baggage (which makes me sad) but
has a great story. That is: You are loved and there is not a thing you can do
about it.
Try this story on today and skip the others. Write everyone
you meet today into this story.
