Free Offer

I have often fallen for dubious 'free offers' and lived to regret them. A bargain always seems so appealing, which is why people promote them as such, I suppose.
But this morning, I took up a free offer, and it has already done me good! At the Pool in the Park, from 7am to 8am, they were offering Free Adult Swimming Coaching!
That might not be appealing to everyone, but I thought it would do me good to improve my back stroke swimming. So I went along for the free coaching and I learned a great deal. I now need to keep doing what I was told - and the pains in my neck should get better!
Another Free Offer comes to mind. '“Is anyone thirsty?
      Come and drink—
      even if you have no money!
   Come, take your choice of wine or milk—
      it’s all free!' (Isaiah 55.1)
The Prophet continues with the coaching aspect of the free offer. 'Seek the Lord while you can find him.
      Call on him now while he is near.
  Let the wicked change their ways
      and banish the very thought of doing wrong.
   Let them turn to the Lord that he may have mercy on them.
      Yes, turn to our God, for he will forgive generously.' (Isaiah 55.6-7)
The mercy and grace of God, so generously offered to us, and powerfully achieved in the sacrifice of Jesus, comes to us as a free offer. But the consequences of our receiving it will be live changing as well as life-enhancing.
Am I playing my part in getting the best from His Free Offer?
Best wishes,
