Name Brand

I like buying Nike shoes. I recently bought some Nike Huarake  Free running shoes which I've been wanting for about a year now. They are very comfortable and light, unlike many pairs of running shoes that I've purchased over the years. The thing about Nike (and any other name brand) is that due to the logo and reputation, you KNOW for certain that the consistent, good quality is undeniable. You see it in commercials, during sporting events, and even at school as the students portray their own personal styles, incorporating Nike into their casual wear and workout gear. The quality is durable and can be affordable, depending on when you're trying to purchase a specific product. All in all, Nike...is a good brand. Top notch, sort of speak. God's brand...is the same way, yet people assume that since they don't see God advertised by the masses that it isn't reliable and assuring.  Think of it this way...Do you recall Kobe's incident years ago when he was trialed due to his act of infidelity? Kobe lost his endorsements to Sprite (my favorite soda by the way) and Adidas. Nike later picked him up, thus showering him with commercial spots and millions of dollars just to sport a purple/gold swoop. Now, if it was God's brand, Kobe not only would have NOT been dropped, but he would have been privileged to wear it proudly, seeing that His brand was still willing to be represented by him, despite his acts of marital betrayal. Think of all the greats that wore God's brand and gave it a bad rep (Jonah, Jacob, and Samson), yet God still kept them under contract :) God still found the opportunity to use these representatives to show how merciful/graceful He is.  God's brand guarantees quality and certainty. Never question who you are because you are made under God's brand, nobody elses'. Remember, if you're constructed by God's brand, you HAVE to be made of good, solid material. Don't allow your physical state to devalue who you are, for you represent God's brand-something solid, firm, and dependable.
