Blessing For TodayMfano

Nothing is Free 

These days, a new strategy has evolved to sell the products in the markets - ‘buy one, get one free’. Everyone would be very happy to see these advertisements because they are getting something for free. But at the bottom of the advertisement, you will find a statement that would say ‘Terms and conditions apply.’ Yes, my friend, nothing is free in this world. 

A poor lady’s daughter was sick. So she wanted to treat her daughter with grapes since that was her favorite fruit. When she searched for grapes, she found it in the garden of the king’s house. She asked the gardener to give her some grapes for the few coins she had. The gardener asked her to speak to the king’s daughter. When she spoke to her, she gave her a basket full of grapes. So the poor lady gave those coins to her. But the king’s daughter refused it saying that her father was not a merchant but the king, and asked her to keep the coins for herself. 

The Lord has given us many blessings free of cost and expects us to give it to others too. Every child of God is a giver. A person who refreshes others will be refreshed. Giving not only denotes financial support, giving can be in any form. You can give your time to your loved ones or a word of encouragement to those who are discouraged. Your giving will yield rich rewards. 

Prayer

“Loving Lord, thank You Father for speaking to me today, through Your word. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and help me to spread the gospel as I have received it freely. Lord, make me an instrument to carry Your word. Let me be prepared and prepare others for Your coming. This I pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.” 

‘Freely give, freely receive’
