NO PRICE TAG
Matthew 10:7-8
" 'And as you go, preach, saying, "The kingdom fo heaven is at hand." Heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.' "
Grace does not have a price tag. It is freely given and received without expectation of repayment. I have freely received the message of the Gospel – God's forgiveness, healing, and deliverance. How could I then turn around and make it something to be merchandised? I did not earn God's grace, nor should I expect others to earn mine. When I do, I only cheapen its value – like marking down a sale item at Sears. Grace is so expensive, it cannot be bought or sold. It can only be given freely.
TODAY'S PRINCIPLE: No price tag can be attached to grace.

Have a giving and receiving day. Love you.
