How much are you willing to pay?

When the word "pay" is mentioned, what is the first thing that comes to mind? There is a very high possibility that the first thought that comes to mind is money related. Well, it is not wrong that money related matters come to mind, but try to think beyond the issues of finances and then what comes to your mind next? Paying for something is technically exchanging something you have for something that you do not own but it is equated at a certain amount. Everyone will have a different evaluation system on items, as the saying goes "one man's meat is another man's poison". It works exactly the same here.

This is also when terms like priceless , treasure and etc comes in. Back to the point, apart from money...what's next in your mind? I think Love is something that comes to mind as well, am not referring to the love relationships between parents to children or couples, am referring to something beyond that. Now, what has this gotta do with paying/payment? Frankly, it's everything cause it involves more than just money of sorts, it's your life that is left at stake and unless you think your life is not worth anything most people will consider otherwise then. Are you getting a clearer picture of what am talking about now?

I know of Someone who gave everything for you and me. We've mentioned about how much we're willing to pay for something? He gave His life in return for us to have life. He gave it all. Despite that, logically speaking wouldn't we owe Him our life then? Yes, we do owe our lives to Him. However, like a true gentleman He never forces, those who return to Him, He gladly accepts. Those who choose not to whether knowingly or unknowingly, He does not forget about you either. As said, He never forces. Therefore, He'll be like an accountant writing off the bad-debts. So now that you know that He gave everything for you, I push the ball to your feet, the question comes to you...

"How much are you willing to give back to the One who gave it all for you?"
