An antique dealer thought the wrinkled old baseball card she found might be worth $10. After posting it on eBay, she began to wonder if it might be more valuable than she had thought. She removed the posting and consulted a professional evaluator who confirmed that the photo on the 1869 card showed the Cincinnati Red Stockings, the first professional baseball team in the US. The card sold for more than $75,000.
Mike Osegueda’s article in The Fresno Bee said that even though the card was creased and discolored, the most important thing was its authenticity—it was real.
What does "being real" mean to you?
Is it a scary thought?
Is it something that you're good at?
Is being real something you're good at?
Are you an authentic person?
What about in your relationship with God? Are you able to be real with Him? Can you go to him as you are?
God desires for us to be real and authentic with him. What's the point in being someone who we really aren't anyway? He knows who we really are, whether we like it or not. He knows ALL aspects of our lives ... inside and outside. What's the point in trying to hide anything from him?
Is there anything better than going to the Creator of the Universe stripped of all masks that we tend to put on? He loves it when we go to Him "as we are"!
