Living is expensive. Breathing is expensive. Seeing is expensive. Hearing is expensive. Walking is expensive. Talking is expensive. Virtually everything is expensive. You cannot also rule out those things we consider cheap to come bye such as urinating, poo-pooing, and a host of others; they are also expensive. Yet many of us do not think about this things we are able to have and do without anyone levying any tax or payment on us before doing them or having them.
Those who are unable to live well as you do today will be able to tell you the real amount of money they are paying to still be alive. Those who cannot breathe properly without using oxygen will be in the better position to tell you that it is expensive to breathe for them. As well, those who cannot see will be in the best position to tell you that you are highly favored to have your eyes wide opened to see beautiful things created by God all around you. What about those who couldn't hear as you do? They will be the one to tell you that to be able to hear cost a lot for them and to them; not to even mention if they are able to pay to hear. Consider also those who don't have their two legs to move here and there as you do; they will be in the best position to tell you how great is God's amazing grace to you.
In all, have you ever thought of giving back to God a bit of praise for all that you enjoy without paying a dime back to him? Have you ever considered God as an all important being to be praise and adored? If you are to pay for talking, let's say "pay-as-you-talk" don't you know how much it will cost you to talk per minutes not to talk of per hour or per day! Do you know that many who talks any how would have been bankrupt today?
If you are being asked to also "pay-as-you-walk" do you know how much it will cost you to move from one location to another per second billing not to talk of per minute billing or per hour billing? Don't you think or know it is God's amazing grace that is saving a wretched like you on a daily basis?
With all you thought you have as possession, you are still a wretched before God because if and when God decides to bill you on per-second basis for being able to talk, being able to see, being able to hear, being able to walk, being able to breathe, being able to smile, being able to smell things right, you'll find out that you are a wretched human being; and you will be humble to know that it is amazing grace of God that is saving a wretched like you.
Come to think of it, how much do you think have that may or can enable you to pay for the heavenly light you enjoy throughout the day, and yet, you keep complaining of the sun being too hot for your likings! You cannot but complain of rain being too much whenever God decides to give you a little comfort out of heat. You cannot but complain of too much heat when there's no rain. You cannot but complain of too much cold whenever it rains. You cannot but complain of so many things without recourse to the amazing grace that's still keeping you alive. Can you complain of anything when you are already dead?
What amazing grace that is saving a wretched like you!
At least for once in your life time, join me to sing:
Amazing grace! how sweet the sound!
That saved a wretch like me;
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appears
The hour I first believed!
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace that brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
Yes, when this heart and flesh shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
Only the living can enjoy and experience this amazing grace you are enjoying right now. With all your money, wealth or riches, if God should bill you, do you think you'll still be counted among the rich or wealthiest people in earth?
Remember all you are and have it's because of the amazing grace of God. You are nobody without this amazing grace of God. Think before you do anything that, it is by the amazing grace of God you are able to do such and such and not by your power or might. Think before you talk to that person anyhow that, it is because of the amazing grace of God you are able to talk arrogantly.
Don't abuse this amazing grace of God over and upon your life and anyone you have access to in the course of your journey on earth; and this amazing grace will forever be there for you all. Remain blessed.
