The best thing in life is free? Well, a young lady and I were chatting in reference to the
cost of products and service in different regions. The region where she now
lives, she explained, to receive the same service was much more.
Well, I was aware of the upcharges in those regions and, like
most things, it depends on the demand of the service rendered in the area. I
explained to her how we could never get the people in our area to pay those
prices.
We usually check, once a year with other service providers
in the area to make sure that we are all pretty fair with pricing.
One year when surveying, we noted an upscale service
provider was charging twice as much for the same service and using a cheaper
product. It truly amazed us that people were willing to pay twice as much at
the upscale location because of prestige. I asked the provider what product line where
they using, as I tried to justify the cost.
I then learned, their customers were, unknowingly, receiving
a lesser quality product. What was really sad, other providers like us, who weren’t as
upscale used much better products and charged fifty percent less.
What I’ve learned is we are a name brand society. We
associate labels with quality. Is it
true, “You get what you pay for?” Not in every case as stated above.
We often put our values in things that don’t really matter.
The best quality is not always what we think it to be, because it cost more.
Consider refocusing our minds on our treasures and where
true value really lies. They lie NOT in material items, but in the good hearts
of people and good relationship.
Place our value in God and things above. He
paid the ultimate cost for our soul and in many cases, even He didn’t get what
He paid for, but it was precious to Him so He gave his life to redeem our
souls.

We can find the greatest treasure, if we choose to redeem the free gift paid for us by Jesus. The gift of everlasting life for our eternal souls is what He bought, through his death. In this, case the best thing in life is truly free, for us, because Jesus paid it for us.
I once thought the more expensive the product, the better the quality. But as you said, the best thing in life is free. So inspiring.
