I find myself having to pinch myself sometimes. Sometimes I have days when I wonder why I bother. You know what I mean. Nothing seems to be going right for you. Even the things that you usually turn to for light relief don't work. All news is bad news. You get the picture.
And yet if you can only open your eyes for long enough, and allow yourself to be more aware of what is going on in your life that is positive, it should easily cancel out the gloom.
If you could put a value on everything in your life how would it look I wonder? Walk into any shop and knowing the value of things is easy because everything normally has a price tag on it. Not so easy when it comes to you though is it. What price would you put on your children? Would they all have an equal price? what about your Spouse? What about your job? What about your Car, House, 42" Widescreen Surround Sound TV?
What about your health? What about knowing that you can live in relative peace and safety without fear of oppression or persecution? How about knowing that every choice you make in life is your choice?
It just occurred to me this afternoon as I begrudgingly played tennis with my son in the park, that some things are absolutely priceless and yet cost us nothing.
Jesus gave his life for me and you. It cost us nothing . . . it cost Him everything. Let me ask you again, what value do you put on the things in your life?
It's an ill wind
