The gentle breeze from the noon air captured Charlotte as she rode in the drop-top convertible. This day wasn't like any other day she'd experienced. No. Today was like a breath of fresh air, and it wasn't just because of the cool breeze. Charlotte's old car was not getting the job done. Although she didn't have to worry about a car note, it was costing her more than it was worth. She knew that it was time to trade in the old clunker for something she could depend on. Charlotte was mesmerized by the ride of this luxury car. The leather seats, the color, the smell, but most of all, the ride was amazing. While she was enjoying the ride, she thought about the cost of this newly found luxury. Things like, insurance and maintenance, could be allotted for by eliminating other expenses that were not necessities. She smiled and said to herself, "It's worth the sacrifice!" After counting the cost of this new, expensive but refreshing ride, she tells the salesman, "I'll take it!" She no longer had to worry about the old clunker breaking down on her...... She knew she had chosen a winner!
Can you remember that first moment that you accepted Christ into your heart? You knew you had chosen THE winner. It was like a breath of fresh air! When Jesus showed up, your weariness became rest, your sadness became joy and your emptiness became fullness! The bible says, "Come, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and You will find rest for your souls" (Matthew 11:28-29). He promised us rest for our souls when we come to Him. I don't know about you, but, I'm glad I traded in my old clunker. In exchange, I got a breath of fresh air, that comes from riding on the wings of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
