: The Cross Isn't For Sale : Written by Max Lucado "Lord," I said, "I want to be your man, not my own. : So to you I give my money, my car, even my home." : Then, smug and content, I relaxed with a smile : and whispered to God, "I bet it's been a while : since anyone has given so much, so freely?" : His answer surprised me. He replied, "Not really." : "Not a day has gone by since the beginning of time, : that someone hasn't offered meager nickels and dimes, : golden altars and crosses, contributions and penance, : stone monuments and steeples; but why not repentance?" : "Your lips know no prayers. : Your eyes, no compassion. : But you will go to church : (when church-going's in fashion). : "Just give me a tear, : a heart ready to mold. : And I'll give you a mission, : a message so bold : that a fire will be stirred : where there was only death, : and your heart will be flamed : by my life and my breath." : I stuck my hands in my pockets : and kicked at the dirt. : It's tough to be corrected : (I guess my feelings were hurt). : But it was worth the struggle : to realize the thought, : that the cross isn't for sale : and Christ's blood can't be bought.
