Nothing in life is for free...

yup, human nature take things for granted.. just because you don't see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.. for example.. tap water.. does it come portable from the natural source? nope.. in fact, our tap water (which is portable from tap!!) is fortified with minerals such as floride.. had gone thru' many processes before it goes into the huge water tank as portable water available to us 24/7 (unless u don't pay ur water bill)..

As one who take economics, you would understand the concept of opportunity cost.. For eg, you allow your friend to stay over at your empty guess room foc for a week as the previous tenant has gone. hence oppty cost would be the rental you would have received if you didn let your friend stay for free... In a business scenario,you own a hotel. you let one of your overseas friend to stay over Free of Charge at one of your suite for a week. You could have let out the room and earn an another $300 per nite. You could have choose to charge, (cuz ur doing a business.. ) yet you don't, cuz you want to bless your friend. However, being a business entity.. the charges would still be made to your account in the company books.. hence.. you're paying for the one week stay.. well.. if another person comes along to book the room, you would have charge him $300 rite?

degree of one's maturity and wisdom is not directly reciprocal of the age.. is to the degree you allow your mind to be renewed by the Word and Spirit of God.

p.s. in case a believer might think that his eternal life is free.. Nope.. Remember, Jn 3:16? We are able to step into eternity only because of Jesus' precious blood that have redeemed us from sin. Jesus, my Lord and Saviour.. my first love!!

Enough said. The joy of the Lord is my strength ! :)
