Feeling empty Quote by Lindsay Marsh Warren
““Why should you buy the cow, if you can get the milk for free?” Answer: There is no reason, no incentive, no need to buy the cow. If the cow continues to supply free milk, the milk’s value and the cow’s value are greatly reduced and free milk will keep that cow feeling empty, misused and unwanted. This is the harsh reality of giving out discounts. Of course, we are not cows, but rather sons and daughters of the Most High God, so let’s be mindful not to discount the price that was paid for us on Calvary.””
