Hello, as Christians we should be a Blessing wherever we go and whatever we do. So, I would like to hear what YOU are doing to Bless the ebay community. For example, I include a Christian music CD that offers hope & trust in God with every order I mail. I also like to pray over my packages and proclaim Blessing to the households of my customers. But, I would like you all to share what you've been doing so we all can do more to be God's hands and feet on this earth to spread His love to the world. Thanks for sharing! Blessings! Debby
Hi the CD idea is awesome. I will buy one of your product to just hear it =)
I do all things with Love =) Simple it isn't, you will see. Make sure to bear fruits in all seasons and lets not be like the Fig tree that Jesus cruised
Keeping the Golden Rule is very helpful
Mainly though....Love because keeping the rule can make you a hypocrite if you don't do it with love.
I pray that the Lord will help me reach many for Him on eBay & I continually ask Him how I can do a better job of that. As you know I have a trivia question on each of my listings. If the buyer can answer the trivia question correctly during the checkout process then I will send them a FREE gift. All of the trivia questions require the buyers to open their Bible to find the answer. I pray that this will get people to reading God's Holy Word again. I also take great care in packaging my items. I think anyone who receives their shipment from me can see that I packaged it with love & concern for them, never packaged in a rush. I wrap all items in colorful scented bags tied with colorful ribbons. I've been asking God what else I can include with the shipments & I sure LOVE the CD thing you are doing. I would love to be able to get my hands on 100's of these at a reasonable price (possibly even free). I'll have to pray about that. Thank you for sharing your ideas & asking others to do the same. Jesus is coming soon! Marsha - AtticButterflies
The CD's are available at www.rickgoad.com You can read his story. The cd's are available in quantities of 10 for $15.You can also request to be a distribution partner. That is what I am. I have given away about 200 since April. Blessings! Debby
Marsha, Jesus is Coming Soon! Those words you wrote are music to my ears, all of this will pass away. I recently read the book 90 minutes in heaven (can't remember the author) and it was reassuring. A wonderful book.
How can we be a blessing on Ebay? I have been asking myself that question. Trying to be fair and 100% honest, admitting to any errors I have made and making them right. I bought a book for my Mom off of half.com and there was a Jesus track in the package and an uplifting message too. I guess I have never done the same because of fear of backlash, I have the wrong attitude. I will continue to ponder your the question though... Have a great night!
Sarah, it is good to fear, but not of the fear itself, but the fear of our God mighty power he holds to discipline with love to his kids.
To all, Blessing to ebay = when people seems angry, let them see Jesus through you. Make sure at the end give the glory to God so they know it is because of God. If they already know you represent God, then Just be the light no need to force feed them.
Thank you ALL for replying. PrincessGifts, thank you so much for that info. I'll check it out. HolySales, you are very right. When my customers have to spend a little bit more time completing their transaction, etc with me, I have been including a FREE gift to let them know I'm sorry for their trouble. (I've had trouble with an incorrect invoice & PayPal's free shipping coupon). The customers seem to really appreciate it. I definately don't want to force feed anyone. But I do remember I came to Jesus not by seeing the Light in people, but people telling me about Jesus. So that's what I'm trying to do. I think people find Jesus in multiple ways, and I know that what you are doing also works for many. I never want to be accused of being "preachy" and I do try to let the Holy Spirit direct me in those areas. Thanks so much for your input - HolySales you truly are a light in this world! Sarah - you keep fighting the good fight of Faith. I encourage you to find scriptures pertaining to FEAR - Satan gives us fear - don't let him. Fear is what keeps you from telling people about Jesus. Jesus says something like this, If you deny me before men then I will deny you before my Father. Have a blessed day! Marsha
Hello, Debby, and others, I joined ebay last year, with one goal in mind. This was to share my photograph "Safe Haven" with as many people as possible.The Lord blessed me with an incredible vision on film...June 22, 2002, a day I will never forget.... This is the most incredible witnessing tool. Please take time to view. May the Lord make His face shine upon you. Numbers 6:25....I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye on you. Psalm 32:8 sincerely, Jan
Marsha, what you are doing is defiantly not force feeding. From the looks of it you do the best you can going not the 1 mile but also another. Awesome sister (a joy I get just knowing your doing the works of Jesus) Also CD is no way force feeding, it's there and if they like it may they be blessed, if they don't take time to read or hear things we send, I pray that some how (They accept Jesus, not just the Letters of the name but the meaning) they too will join us in eternity with God =)
Thank you so much again for your awesome words to me. You have been more of a blessing to me than you will ever know (well, maybe when we get to Heaven you'll know). I'm so glad you don't think I'm preachy because I don't feel like I am, but others may think so. I do know for a fact that the Lost out there shy away from the "preachy", that's why I never want to be that way. I pray sometimes that the Lord will help me be His Light and that I will only draw people toward me, not to make them run. So far it seems that people run. I'll keep doing what I'm doing though because I believe it is what the Lord would have me to do. Have a blessed day. Marsha - AtticButterflies
I ordered one of Rick Goad's CD's this morning. I'm looking forward to receiving it and info on how to become a distribution partner. Thank you for sharing his awesome story and ministry. Marsha
That's Awesome Marsha! Rick Goad Ministries goal is to distribute 1 million copies of his cd. Anything you can do to help is great. And to all of you, Marsha, Sarah, Jan & HolySales, It is so cool to hear all you are doing to Bless others. What's most awesome is to "hear" your hearts. The Love of God flows through you and that is what makes all your efforts so powerful. Love conquers all! Treat every person and every sale as if we were shipping it to Jesus. Love, encourage, uplift. Be a blessing! And you all are a blessing to me. Much Love! Debby
Thank you, Debby also for your encouraging words. Were you able to "see" His face and the other images when you viewed "Safe Haven"? If so, How did the Lord speak to you? sincerely, Jan
Hello Jan, Yes, I saw several faces. And I felt a real sense of urgency! The Father does not desire that any be lost. Time is short! We must tell the people of the Father's love!--Debby
Debby, yes, Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest truly is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Matthew (9:37) "For I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved." (Genesis 32:30) And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead the way...(Exodus 13:21)...Blessings to you today my sister in Christ, Jan
