Although it sounds crazy, we usually value what it costs us, what comes easy to us we do not value, and it is that although it may have cost someone to get it to us, we do not stop to analyze it,
For everything it is necessary to pay a price or we simply will not value it, because that is in our nature even if we want to deny it.
Therefore friend, what does not cost you, sooner or later will go out of your hands, because the really valuable things are those for which you strive to achieve them. The same goes for when we give something, what we give because we have excess does not have the same value as what we give despite, what sometimes we sacrifice even our own well-being to satisfy the need of another.
Let's see what 2 Samuel 24:24 says
And the king said to Arauna: No, but for a price I will buy it from you; for I will not offer burnt offerings to the Lord my God that cost me nothing.
So David bought the era and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
King David himself was wise for this and he knew that God had to be given the best and the best cost him. The things that cost us come loaded with efforts, perseverance, perseverance, passion, so it is those things that will always make us value it.
Many today long to live successfully, they want to achieve and acquire many things but are not willing to pay the price, they want to achieve things easily, or that someone else strives for them, but this does not come from God, He likes those brave who struggle day by day to obtain what He has prepared to bless them.
Are you today willing to strive to achieve what you have longed for? You must ask yourself this question and be completely sincere with yourself, if your answer is negative, then you are not prepared to receive, however if you want to bravely achieve your desires, then prepare yourself and take the hand of God so that you begin to walk that path.
