Sometimes the cost of hiring something might be $5.<\/p>\n What does it say about ourselves, that we might not want to pay ?

\nHave you ever ?<\/p>\n\n
\nIn the 1st Pirates movie the pirates talk of being cursed to consume, but never be satisfied, to eat and not taste. Do you ever see this in your own habits & behaviours ?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\nWe see this reflected in the command to love your enemies (Matt 5:39-41) Even they are God\u2019s treasured possession. Who is it that you struggle to see as God\u2019s treasured possession ? How could God help you change that ?<\/p>\n
