if something is billed as 'free', i will find it. and it shall be mine.
i don't need to be told twice
to come get something that cost me nothing
today, a local fast food restaurant
gives away free slushies
at all of their area locations
because our city football team won the weekend game.
so like a good little lemming,
i drove there,
to wait in line,
to be one of the lucky,
who desire to please their puckers with cranberry cherry flavored ice.
strictly complementary.
no need for collateral
don't even promise to buy something at your next visit
there are no rules.
i can bring a friend or three.
unlimited visits are encouraged.
you can be a fan of the rival team.
it is even okay to not speak english.
there are no rules to get this free gift…
except this: the receivng party must be present.
you need to show up.
in person.
the home team fought hard for the win.
no one can accept the gift for you.
salvation works the same way,
but it's bigger and better and more available in every way possible.
nothing is more free or freeing than this.
Father,
thank You.
i can't afford Your Grace,
but you got me covered.
and that's a sweet deal.
in Jesus' name,
AMEN
