Have you ever felt that something was too good to be true?

Like winning an expense-paid trip to Hawaii.

Perhaps, you will get a new car donated to you.

Maybe, you’ll meet ‘that special man’ who is too good to be real.

He seems perfect in every way – kind, generous, sensitive, considerate, and good-looking.

Beware, because sometimes when a thing seems to be ‘too good to be true,’ it really is too good to be true.

I dated a guy once who seemed to have everything I desired in a man – tall, dark and handsome, intelligent, professional, well-spoken, and considerate at first.

As the relationship progressed, he became sarcastic and verbally abusive.

I discovered he had a drug problem and learned a valuable lesson – you can’t judge the inside of a vessel by what you see on the outside.

Most of you would investigate and check out the free trip to Hawaii and the new car before planning your trip.

I think you should also check out ‘that special man’ who seems to be perfect.

I’m not talking about spying and doing an FBI investigation.

I’m suggesting you watch out for signs of inconsistencies.

Observe for signs of manipulation, deceit, dishonesty, and incompatibles.

The devil masquerades in sheep’s clothing when he is a ravenous wolf.

And he will get you and me when we let our guard down.

Maybe the gentleman is the perfect guy; you get what you see. Fantastic! Praise God! Be thankful!

But remember – If you feel something is ‘too good to be true,’ it usually is, and it’s best to check it out.

The measure of a person’s real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out_________________________Anonymous
