A quick thought

Last night, as I was trying to fall asleep, I began to think about how nothing in life is truly free.  When something in life is advertised as buy one get one free you are really just buying 2 items at half price each.  When someone writes please take me on something, you have to spend your time transporting it back to your house.  When a friend gives something to you, you had to put time into developing that relationship to the point where the friend is willing to give something to you.  I mean, to some extent everything in this world costs at least a little bit.  However, there is one thing that is free, and it is the greatest thing anywhere.  It is God's love, which he freely gives to everyone, whether they believe in him or not.  God's love is the only "truly unconditional" thing that is offered in our lives.  God loves everyone no matter what they do.  Isn't it just incredible to think that where absolutely nothing is truly free, the greatest thing we could be offered is absolutely free.  Hey, we don't even deserve it and its still free.... Our God truly is an awesome god.
