Sometimes we often look for so many things that somehow make us a little demanding...only to find out that the best things in life are absolutely free. We often regard such as unmerited favor as all the material blessings we receive from the Lord. For example , at the end of the year: a good job, a bigger house, a late model automobile. However according to paul's word in Phil. 3:8, everything apart from Christ is refuse. He would regard things such as a job, a house, and an automobile as nothing but refuse in comparison to Christ. The grace spoken of in the Scriptures does not refer to mere material blessing. As many verses in the New Testament make clear ; grace is the Processed God as the life supply to be our enjoyment. Indeed the best things in life is free. Christ is Grace given to us for free we just need to receive. Grace is for free because in the first place we can't afford it so it is given to us for free so we can enjoy it by simply believing in Him and receiving Him. If we have this realization truly we are able to enjoy life in a totally different. It will be so contrary to the kind of living and life we had in the past.Truly Christ is so enjoyable....Try it, to find out how real He is and how enjoyable He is when He becoms our life. What id more subjective to us than our life. Thus, He desired to be our life, enter us...in this way we can live an enjoyable life in Christ.

Amen to these Shahasing, i definitely agree with you. The best things in life are the intangible ones. Love, happiness, fatih, home and a lot more intangible things that life offers. We can only understand these if we understand our faith and has a deep relationship with God.
Material things? They are there to please us but they are all fleeting. What's important are values and how we live our life.
Happy mylotting to you! Take care.

I agree with you that some of the best thing in life
is free. Like for example, being good and kind to your
fellow human being. That is already a treasure worth
millions.

I do agree that a lot of things in life that are the most enjoyable are free. I believe that we should appreciate life more. There are a lot of materials in the world and people can't help but go after them. It is probably only natural to want and need things I realize that.
Sometimes I think that we need to step out of our zones and look at the world around us and enjoy it more. The world has a lot to offer, mainly nature. It is a beautiful thing to enjoy the sights around us. I like to watch the pretty birds and beautiful trees and I like to look at my marigolds growing in a pot outside my door. Life around us has a lot to offer. You could go on a nice walk and look at the sights and it doesn't cost a penny.
I also agree in the power of the Lord. He is the creator who put these things here for us to appreciate. In which I mean the beautiful countrysides and wonderful animals that are here.
I know that not everybody believes in a higher being but it seems that you do. Having faith is something that comes free also. I am happy that I have it. Sometimes I have struggles in my life but I do try to pray and be thankful for the blessings that I have.
