No such thing as a freebie....

On Sunday, I went back to the car park and wanted to give my ticket to a man standing by the machine. However, by the time I got there he had paid for a ticket and left (mental note must practice more fitness!!) When I looked at the ticket machine I was surprised to note that there were already 4 or so tickets stuck to the machine for anyone to use. Either this motorist was unobservant or he didn't think that a free parking ticket was worth having (well, there has to be a catch somewhere). It got me thinking that if such a small thing as accepting a car park ticket is difficult because it is too good to be true, how much more difficult must it be to accept the gift of eternal life from Jesus? I began to wonder whether I am equally as unobservant of help that is offered or whether I deliberately choose not to accept it. More to the point, how often do I do this to God? Well, it got me thinking...
