We are currently looking to buy another vehicle. I have been
spending time on car websites, like Consumer Reports and Edmunds,
reading many, many reviews on certain cars.
When
a car is bought new and has been reviewed right away, I think, "That
car hasn't stood the test of time. It may seem great at first, but how
will it do over a period of years?"
Each person
gives the car a 1-5 star rating. The car I'm considering has a 4.5
rating. I read 141 reviews. Some say, "Great vehicle. Fun to drive.
No complaints." Others say, "Doesn't get the gas mileage that it
claims," and one said, "This vehicle stinks!"
It got me to thinking....
What
rating would we get if our spouse were to give us a star rating between
one and five?? Would it be, "Started off great, but didn't perform
well over time," or, "Extremely reliable; happy with my choice," or
perhaps,"Very disappointed; am planning to cut my losses and trade it
in."
It's tempting to think about what rating we
would assign to our spouse, but it is more beneficial to estimate what
our own rating could be. The God who created the universe, the Milky
Way, and all the stars can help us to become worthy of a 5-star rating.
